Capitalize first letter

Merges a value in lower case with its first character in upper case. Use it to rescue a greeting from data that was typed in all capitals or all lower case.

Syntax

{{capitalFirst data culture}}

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
Data	Text	Required	The value to change.
Culture	Text	Optional	The culture used to decide how letters change case, such as tr-TR. Your account's default is used when you leave it out.

Note: This lower cases everything after the first character, so it raises the first letter of the first word only. A full name of "John Smith" merges as "John smith". For a name, Titlecase is almost always the one you want, because it raises the first letter of every word.

Examples

The examples below are based on the following sample content:

Dear {{capitalFirst Contact.firstName}},

A. The contact's firstName field has the value jOHN

Dear John,

B. The contact's firstName field has the value john

Dear John,

C. The field holds a full name, John Smith

Dear John smith,

Only the very first character is raised, which is why Titlecase suits a full name better.
