Hi,

I’m trying to embed a custom property into an email but when I try to preview the email, it says that “the lookup filter needs 2 arguments, 1 was given”. How do I fix this?

Thanks

Hi @Joe Tang - welcome to the community!

Do you think you can paste your code here so we can help you trouble shoot? It’ll be easier to help you figure out what might be causing that error.

If you are using a custom property, this is the standard syntax:
{{ person|lookup:'Favorite Color' }}

The custom profile property name in this case is “Favorite Color” - note the quotes around the field.

A list of the Template Variables for reference is here:
