To determine which email template to use the ActiveMember360 Mailer module requires the ActiveCampaign email template ID.

Creating Email Templates​

Note

In addition to most ActiveCampaign’s merge fields, you can use also use special merge fields which retrieve and display the contact’s WordPress user data in your email template but ONLY when sent through the mailer extension.

To do so use the following merge field/placeholder:

%%WP.ANY_USER_OR_USER_META_FIELD_NAME%%

As an example:

%%WP.NICKNAME%%

would merge the WordPress user's nickname that is stored in the WordPress usermeta table and identified with a meta key nickname into the email content.
