Automation merge fields are useful time-savers when information in your automation changes frequently. For example, if you have five emails in an automation that all reference a constantly changing date, an automation merge field will save you from editing all five emails every time the date changes. All you have to do is change the value of the automation merge field.

• The merge field can only be text
• There is no limit to the amount of automation merge fields you can create
• A automation merge can only be used in the automation that it was created in
