Wildcards can be used to 'personalize' your emails. You insert wildcards (form field values) using the  'wildcard' icon in the toolbar of the editor:

This opens the wildcard window, where you can select from any of the fields on your form

'Wildcard Modifiers' are functions you can use to extend wildcards. To the right is a screen shot of some of the wildcard modifiers available. Use a modifier function to format a list, capitalize a word or display a link to an uploaded file for example.
