# Use Salesforce Fields as Merge Tags in AI Email

For AI Email (AIE) integration with Salesforce, you can:

- Create and mapping a custom field.
- Access custom merge tags for your topic.

## Create and Map a custom field

To create and map a custom field for AIE:

1. First check whether a 6sense AIE field already exists to store the proposed Salesforce attribute to be imported.
2. If it is a new field (for example, Lead Tier) and doesn’t yet exist in AIE, you will first need to [create a new Custom Field](/v1/docs/add-contact-and-account-custom-fields).
3. After the field has been created, [map your field](/v1/docs/map-ce-contact-and-account-fields-to-salesforce-fields) to a Salesforce attribute.

## Access custom merge tags

To access custom merge tags:

1. In AIE, go to the **Conversation Flow** detail page.
2. Select a sequence.
3. Below the email editor, use the **More** menu (…) to locate the custom fields.
4. Select any merge tag and it will be inserted into the email body.

You can also [preview the email touchpoints](/v1/docs/preview-emails-with-dynamic-content-in-ce) to ensure your merge tags are being replaced properly.
