How to fetch data from contacts dynamically

[samuelreichor]

Hello, I would like to send personalized emails. It is about a newsletter and I want to send it simultaneously to all contacts in a mailing list. For this I have created fields in the contacts (firstname, lastname, gender) and I would like to use this data in the email template.

I followed the docs here and managed to fetch a contact with :

{% set contact = craft.campaign.contacts.email('jim@bean.com').one() %}

{% if contact %}
  <p>{{ contact.firstname }}</p>
  <p>{{ contact.lastname }}</p>
{% endif %}

Logically I can't hardcode the Email, so I'm looking for a way to retrieve the data dynamically and insert it into the template.

Any ideas or solutions?

The contact variable will be available in your campaign emails already, so you can just do it as follows.

<p>{{ contact.firstname }}</p>
<p>{{ contact.lastname }}</p>

I already tried that, unfortunately it didn't work with contact.handleOfTheField.

Please provide some details of what "didn't work" so I can help you.
