CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I made the mistake of sending out an e-mail to our expired members this past weekend using a token from our expiration notice:  {$memberParams.end_date|crmDate}.  This works fine in the expiration notices, but it looks like memberParams are not exposed to CiviMail.

What would it take to add these values to regular CiviMail messages?

It should be possible to figure out what membership you want, i.e. "the membership with the latest expiration date", or to have a modification to the tokens to specify the membership (not exactly sure what that would look like off the top of my head).

Admittedly, I have already been bitten by the multiple membership problem. We wanted to send an e-mail to all of our members with expired membership and got a surprise when we were getting responses from people who had valid memberships.  It turns out that if you create a smart group of "all members with expired memberships" you also get members with valid memberships if they have an old membership that is expired (in our case, from things like student memberships that were renewed as full memberships). Off hand, I haven't come up with a search yet that will get around that one....
