Put the title of the first post in the subject of a MailChimp RSS campaign

Tags:

I'm using MailChimp and RSS to send emails from my blog. I would like to use the first post title as the subject of the RSS email. When I try to do this, I get the following error:

Message Subject*
De InterMission Uitdaging van vandaag: *|RSSITEMS:|**|RSSITEM:URL|**|END:RSSITEMS|* This field can not contain conditional merge tags

How do I do it correctly?

Ah, got it: *|RSSITEM:TITLE|* is actually sufficient.

Got it confirmed by the MailChimp people: https://longrep.ly/r/5e1ddb41.
