To insert a merge field into a message, look for the [#] button in when drafting an email, text message, or template. Use this to insert a variety of personalized content into your messages. In the text only email builder, your custom fields will not be listed, however they can still be used with a merge field.
The most common use of personalization is to merge in a piece of customer data like first name. When you're drafting your message, it would look like this:
“Hi, ~Contact.FirstName~!”
