Can we have custom [Tags] in email that draw from our database?

[kramo]

when i create an email at mailchip that will send out once per week to
a mailing list, can that email have tags example: [title_of_show] that
draw from our database on our server to insert the correct info into
that tag at the time the email is sent out?

additionally, can we update on a nightly basis, the mailing list names
and addresses as our database gets updated (so that when its time to
send the mail, it automatically has the latest address info)?

The short answer is basically yes, and I'd suggest playing around with
the service via the web app before diving into the API.

Info on setting up and using merge tags can be found here:

You can update your list however often you want - you'll probably want
to use listBatchSubscribe for daily updates

The important thing to realize there is that we don't pull anything
from you - it is up to you to push data up to us that needs to be used
in campaigns.
