Remote Content tags are an extremely powerful feature which allows fetching remote data from other websites and be auto inserted into an email that is being sent. With remote content you can pass any of the fields in the list to a remote website which opens up many opportunities such as fetching shopping history, articles/news stories, geographic information and almost anything you can think of.
