The last time I released a video specifically about merge fields was in 2007.

Wow! That's a long time and it's such a powerful and frequently used feature. What would a database solution be without the ability to send email?

So, here we are with this Karate App solution and we're using the separation model to design and deploy. The next addition to the database is the ability to send email - so, we need merge fields.

Using a a few custom functions, an admin layout, the user interface and some merging creativity, we can easily add new fields which can easily be merged into any content. By explaining how this process might work in your own database, you will quickly realized the benefits of integrating this type of system into your own solution!
