When creating or editing snippets in GHL (both SMS and email), it would be incredibly helpful to see merge fields populate in real time using example data from a selected contact or test profile. Ideally, these fields would appear with a unique style—such as a different color and underline—so users can clearly identify them as dynamic fields.

Why This Matters:

• It allows users to visually confirm what the recipient will actually see before sending.

• Helps quickly spot any broken or incorrect merge fields (e.g., {{contact.first_name}} accidentally typed as {{contact.firstname}}).

• Reduces human error and improves overall confidence in sending personalized messages.

• This kind of live preview exists in other CRMs and is sorely missed in GHL.

Suggested Functionality:

• When editing a snippet, allow users to toggle a “Preview Mode” that shows how merge fields would render using data from a test or selected contact.

• Highlight active merge fields in a distinct color or style (e.g., underlined in blue).

• Allow users to quickly identify whether a field is valid or broken (perhaps with a warning icon if a merge field can’t be resolved).

This would be a small but powerful UX improvement that makes personalization faster, safer, and more intuitive.
