# Template mismatch

When previewing an email template or sending/scheduling a campaign, Mail Rocket validates the selected template in the background. If any variable in the email template is missing from your contact list, it will display a "Mail Merge Issue - Template Mismatch" warning.

{% hint style="success" %}
If you feel the email template is normal, feel free to continue sending emails.
{% endhint %}

### How to fix "Empty variables detected"?

In the above screenshot, empty variable detected is **{{ namp }}.** This means column **"namp"** is missing from your contact list.

The screenshot below shows the initial contact list.

Add a column called **"namp"** along with its values as shown in the screenshot below.

After all the columns needed are added, restart Mail Rocket.
