For example, if you have a template like: `{{variable_name}}`, pass in `{"variable_name": "Harry"}` to render `Harry`. `merge_variables` must be an object. Any type of value is accepted as long as the object is valid JSON; you can use `strings`, `numbers`, `booleans`, `arrays`, `objects`, or `null`. The max length of the object is 25,000 characters. If you call `JSON.stringify` on your object, it can be no longer than 25,000 characters. Your variable names cannot contain any whitespace or any of the following special characters: `!`, `"`, `#`, `%`, `&`, `''`, `(`, `)`, `*`, `+`, `,`, `/`, `;`, `<`, `=`, `>`, `@`, `[`, `\`, `]`, `^`, `` ` ``, `{`, `|`, `}`, `~`.

Depending on your <a href="https://dashboard.lob.com/#/settings/account" target="_blank">Merge Variable strictness</a> setting, if you define variables in your HTML but do not pass them here, you will either receive an error or the variable will render as an empty string. These settings only apply on HTML templates and not on QR code redirect URLs.'
