Hi Team,

Can you please help to know as to why the seed address FirstName comes incorrect in Delivery Log as well as in Email Delivery Personalization field?

When i went to Campaign Dashboard, under Delivery - I can see Delivery Log section says FirstName something different.

Please reply ASAP. I need to answer.

Thanks!

Hi Arvind,

With your additional explanations, by now I understand your mistake:

because you don't use Firstname standard field (used by the 1st and 2nd tab of Seed address form) but Smart(FirstName) in Additionnal data (targetData XML element). Hence you must fill the value in the corresponding "field" in the 5th tab of Seed address form, by using an XML syntax. The better is to give an alias to Smart(FirstName) so the XML element is clearer.

Regards.

In your screenshot, do the 2nd tab blurred correspond to a custom contact table replacing nms:recipient?
As in this screenshot of ACC documentation for Seed address:
https://docs.campaign.adobe.com/doc/AC/en/CFG_Use_a_custom_recipient_table_Seed_addresses.html

In that case, the firstname should be rather filled in the 2nd tab instead.

Do you use FDA for custom contact table instead?

My Second Tab belongs to extended nms:recipient for different role users.

However, we make a habit to fill complete details in both tab, nms: as well as extendednms:

Therefore, during that deployment as well, we filled FirstName, LastName and Email details in both tab.

No, we are not using FDA module for now.

Hi Pablo, J-Serge,

Is this known functions then?

Random FirstName if Seed Address appeared in Mailer.

Please reply so that we can close this discussion with final answer.

Thanks!
