# Merge Fields

You can use merge fields to add variable data to your cards and notes. This makes it easy to personalize multi-recipient or automated card projects.

Just go to the place in a text box where you want to add variable data, such as a first name, and select the merge field you want to use from the Merge Fields dropdown in the horizontal toolbar at the top of the editor. This will insert a merge field there (delimited on both sides by square brackets), and when you order a project or it is automatically triggered, the corresponding data will be pulled from your data source and will replace the merge field.
