You can find text using regex then there is a find and replace activity

This will give <first_name> then use find and replace activity to find this text and replace it with custom names

OUTPUT :

here i have done for the first name

Can you use String.Format method instead?

String.Format Method (System)

first_name = "Arslan"
last_name = "Bhatti"
day_of_week = "Sunday"
my_text = "Hello Mr/Ms/Mrs {0} {1}, we would like to invite you to our product launch event next week on {2}. Please confirm by the end of the current week."
formated_text = string.format(my_text, first_name, last_name, day_of_week)

Cheers

@Arslan.Bhatti If your project is of Windows dependency, you can also do:

formattedText = $"Hello Mr/Ms/Mrs {firstName} {lastName}, we would like to invite you to our product launch event next week on {dayOfWeek}. Please confirm by the end of the current week."
