How to add a dynamic date and time to MailChimp email

In your campaign, navigate to the 'Emails' tab in the left hand menu.

In the top section of this page you'll see your Integration settings listed, including your Custom Field:

Important Note: There can be a delay between when the webhook triggers the deadline for a contact and when the contact's custom field gets populated with their deadline. Because of this, we recommend that you don't use the custom field in your emails until at least one day after the deadline is initially triggered.

In your email editor, place the cursor where you want to add the dynamic date and time and click Merge Tags:

Scroll down and select your Deadline Funnel custom field that you used for your API integration (we named ours 'DeadlineText'):

This will insert your custom field placeholder into your email: (note that the merge tag name will be different from the Custom Field name):

When you send yourself the email, you will see that the placeholder has been replaced with the deadline text format you chose in your setup.
