Include first and last names (and other fields) during Mailchimp sync
This was a previous idea (https://idealab.foundant.com/forums/597718-communitysuite-idea-lab/suggestions/46800925-first-last-name-sync-to-mailchimp-added-back) that was closed, not sure why. Like many community foundations, we do marketing! Through Mailchimp! The sync option is great, but missing some important pieces. Please include other fields besides email address. Modern email marketing includes personalization features like "Dear Lucy" which it would be nice to have. Besides the name fields, I could see cases for grabbing ANY other Profile fields during a sync. Perhaps have a dialog screen that asks the user to select/deselect fields for syncing?

Email customization is essential for stewarding our donors and fundholders. It's very impersonal to use "Dear Fundholder" when we could use "Dear Sam".
