Title: Enter the title you wish to be displayed as the first text line in the message that the user receives.

Merge Fields: The message body allows the user to select Merge Fields from Responsys data tables which allows for greater personalization to your messages on a recipient by recipient basis.
Fields from either the Responsys Profile List or the Profile Extension Tables (PET) can be used as Merge Fields. Available field names can be seen in the Merge Field drop down. If the field is coming from a PET table, the field name will be prefixed with the PET name.
