    Thanks for asking. Here's how:

    1. Open the autoresponder you created and click Switch to Text Mode:

    2. Remove all the content from the work area and type the letter, substituting the relevant tag for each word which is to be replaced by the user's entry. For instance, Dear Name would become Dear {firstName}. Please see the following screenshot:
