Hello @mpatsi 

To add the name of the customer dynamically to the title of an automated email in Shopify, you can use Liquid, which is Shopify's template language. Here's an example of how you can achieve this:

1. In your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Notifications.

2. Locate the automated email notification you want to modify and click on its name.

3. In the email template editor, locate the <title> tag, which represents the email's title.

4. Modify the <title> tag to include the customer's name using Liquid syntax. For

<title>New order placed by {{ customer.first_name }} {{ customer.last_name }}</title>

In the above example, {{ customer.first_name }} and {{ customer.last_name }} are Liquid variables that will be replaced with the corresponding values when the email is sent. This assumes that the customer's first name and last name are stored as separate properties in the customer object.

5.Save the changes to the email template.

By using {{ customer.first_name }} and {{ customer.last_name }} in the email's title, Shopify will dynamically replace these variables with the actual customer's name when the email is sent. This way, each customer will receive an email with a personalized title that includes their name.

Note: Keep in mind that the available Liquid variables can vary depending on the email template and the data available in the context of that template. Make sure to test the email notification to ensure the variables are being replaced correctly and provide the desired output.

Hi there!

I'm wondering if it's possible to use these customer name variables in the email body itself? (Using Shopify Email)

I have tried using the {{ customer.first_name }} variable, but it doesn't seem to like it.

Thanks!

Hey! Here you go, seems to not like it!

I tried to pull customer tags into the email template but that does not seem to work.  When using a custom liquid block like this:

<title>New order placed by

{{ data.customer.first_name }}

{{ data.customer.last_name }}

{{ data.customer.tags.first }}
</title>

It displays the name elements fine but the tag does not pull in.

Any feedback would be appreciated.
