Hello all,  
  
  
  
I am looking for a list with short codes, but can’t find it… So maybe someone here knows?  
  
When I create an email, I would like to add a tag with which Mautic inserts the first name of the subscriber. It might look something like this:  
  
  
  
–  
  
Dear _user\_first\_name_,  
  
–  
  
  
  
Hope someone can point me in the right direction.  
  
  
  
Thanks in advance!  
  
  
  
War regards, Jan
