I read the following thread and I am trying to implement the idea that involves updating the data extension with the UpdateDE function and hourly emails.

Triggered send Emails exacttarget

I am not able to get my email to recocgnize the UpdateDE function though. Here is my code:

%%[

UpdateDE("PosterGuard Large Accounts 
Leads",1,"Phone",%%Phone%%,"EmailName","Sent")

]%%

<pre>New Lead Info:

First Name: %%FirstName%%
Last Name: %%LastName%%
Email Address: %%Email%%
Phone Number: %%Phone%%
Lead Captured At: %%Date%%

</pre>

</html>

When i preview the email i see this in the email:

%%[ UpdateDE("PosterGuard Large Accounts Leads",1,"Phone",%%Phone%%,"EmailName","Sent") ]%%

And when I use the send preview functionality i get this error:

Unable to generate preview There is an error in your email. Please contact your customer service representative.

Error 1: Invalid Function Call
The specified attribute or custom object field name was not found for this client. Function Call: UpdateDE("PosterGuard Large Accounts Leads",1,"Phone",%%Phone%%,"EmailName","Sent")
