Target and biography data columns in contact databases

If you have an email-to-target action using a postcode database, there are several columns available for use with redirect & filters (using “If the database returns the value”), for example to redirect supporters who live in Wales. You can also use the data to insert into target messages, such as the target’s Salutation or Party, via the target insert button.
