I have read the 2 other related posts for this, and I still cant seem to get it to work. 
I have Zapier set up to integrate from Typeform and send out using mailchimp transactional. 
I cannot get the HTML to work for the first name merge field. 
I have tried about everything I can think of. 
Here is the Zapier set up->
 

 

and here is the HTML
 

 

I have also tried 
{{*first name*}}
{{*first_name*}}
*first_name*
first_name
and about every other variation I can think of.
What am I doing wrong. Is it the zapier set-up or the HTML?
Thank you
 

Hi @josh47 

Good question.

Check the field description for guidance.

 

Try this:
FNAME|{{map the dynamic variable}}

@Troy Tessalone 
I tried 
FNAME|{{first name}}
FNAME|{{*first name*}}
neither worked

@josh47

Try adding this before the mapped variable:
FNAME|

 

@Troy Tessalone thank you for helping I really appreciate it.
but I tried both
FNAME|*first name*
FNAME|first name
Neither of these worked either

@josh47 

Here’s how I have it configured and working for a client.

EXAMPLE

 

I added this to Zapier



Ad changed the HTML to 

<p>Hi FNAME|*first name*,</p>

I also tried 
<p>Hi FNAME|first name,</p>
neither of these worked either.
 

Mailchimp wants to use 
*|FNAME|*
But Im not sure how to add that

 

@josh47 

In the Mailchimp email template you need to use *|FNAME|* format.

Bingo
@Troy Tessalone Thank you for the help
So Zapier is set up 

and the HTML is
<p>Hi *|FNAME|*,</p>

This works!!!

 

Thanks for letting us know that you got the help you needed @josh47 !
