Hi Anil,

 

You are using only '!', please use '!$' like {!$User.FirstName}

Hello,

 

You can use merge fields in the subject and body of custom HTML templates, not in a text type email template. For details please refer:

Hi Vinitha,

 

I have used other merge fields like {!Account.Name} and {!Account.Link} in text type of email templates.They are working fine.

 

But when we try to inlude the logged in user, i am not able to do that.

 

Thanks,

Anil
