Personalization is a great way to engage your subscribers. The Higher Logic Thrive Marketing Professional (Thrive Marketing Professional) for Salesforce integration supports many personalization fields; Salesforce personalization fields are determined by the target group type (Contacts or Leads).
NOTE: As part of the initial integration setup, your Salesforce administrator must make all fields visible and enable them for the API. If this is not done, the personalization fields are not displayed in Thrive Marketing Professional.

Insert a Personalization field in a mailing
To select a Salesforce personalization field in the Thrive Marketing Professional editor, click the Personalization toolbar tool.
Personalization codes have the following format:
%%WSI||FIELDNAME%%
NOTE: The data to populate the code is retrieved from Salesforce during the mailing send process (personalization data is not stored locally in Thrive Marketing Professional). The data is gathered from Salesforce just before you send the mailing.
Copied mailings
If your mailing is a copy from a previously created mailing, the mailing references the previously-used target group. If this target group was not a Salesforce list, Salesforce personalization fields are not initially available for selection. However, once the target group is changed to be a Salesforce list, the personalization fields display.
