// The merge tag in the template must be equal to the attribute's name.
customUserAttributesMergeTags: ['firstname', 'lastname'],
//
// The name of your Mandrill template for the password reset email:
// If you add this attribute, then passwordResetBody will be ignored.
// IMPORTANT: Make sure the email has the *|link|* merge tag,
// it will render the url to reset the password.
passwordResetTemplateName: 'password-reset-template-name',
//
// The name of your Mandrill template for the verification email:
// If you add this attribute, then verificationBody will be ignored.

});You can use the following variables in the subjects and bodies and they will be replaced with their appropriate values:
*|appname|* - your application's display name
*|username|* - the user's display name
*|email|* - the user's email address
*|link|* - the link the user must click to perform the requested action
Note that these variable tokens are formatted using the MailChimp merge language. If your Mandrill account is using the Handlebars merge language, you should use the alternative format, e.g. {{appname}}, {{username}}, etc. The Mandrill merge language style can be configured in your Mandrill settings under 'Sending Defaults'.
