Dynamic Content Syntax

PREREQUISITE  :  Dynamic Content 

 Allows the user to create dynamic content statements without needing to know the syntax.  

 A new syntax has been created in the system which allows developers to keep all content and logic within one document. 

 

 Syntax 

 

 ##FirstName## 

 ##FirstName Format="Firstlettercapital"## 

 ##FirstName Default="Customer"## 

 ##FirstName Format="Firstlettercapital" Default="Customer"## 

 

 

 Data Types for Format 

 

 Email : No formatting options 

 Text : ALLCAPS, lowercase, Firstlettercapital, EachWordFirstLetterCapital 

 Number : WholeNumber, OneDecimal, TwoDecimal 

 Date : MM/dd/yyyy, MM-dd-yyyy, MMMM dd, yyyy, MMM dd, yyyy 

 

 

 Dynamic Content Syntax. 

   

 

 HTML 

 

 ###variablename###

 if (field[FieldName] operator "value" ) { "Content" }

else if (field[FieldName] operator "value" ) { "Content" }

 else { "Content" }

###/variablename### 

 

 Logic Breakdown (Part 1) 

   

 

 HTML 

 

 if (field[FieldName] operator "value" ) 

   

 

 FieldName has to match the one in CONNECT, Operators are different depending on the Field type (i.e. Email, Text, Date, Number)  

 You can have as many else if’s as needed 

 

 

 Logic Breakdown (Part 2) 

   

 Email/Text Operators: 

 equals, is_not, begins_with, contains, not_contain, is_empty, not_empty 

   

 Number/Date Operators: 

 

 HTML 

 

 ==, !=, greater, greater_or_equal, less, less_or_equal, is_empty, not_empty 

   

 AND/OR Statements: 

 

 HTML 

 

 if ((field[ ] ) && (field[ ] )) 

   

 

 HTML 

 

 if ((field[ ] ) || (field[ ] )) 

   

 

 HTML 

 

 if (((field[ ] ) && (field[ ] )) || (field[ ] )) 

   

 For Each Statements: 

 Use the for.each statement by itself: 

 

 HTML 

 

 for.each({"test data"})

for.each({block "<table><tr><td>Some text</td></tr></table>"})

for.each({image: "<img src="http://imagefile.jpg">"}) 

 Or combined with an IF statement: 

 

 HTML 

 

 if(condition) {block "for.each({"test data"})"}

if(condition) {block "for.each({block "<table><tr><td>Some text</td></tr></table>"})"}

if(condition) {block "for.each({image: "<img src="http://imagefile.jpg">"})"} 

   

 Content Types 

 Text: Should only contain text, no HTML. 

 Example: 

 

 HTML 

 

 { "Here is some text" } 

 Image: Should only contain an image tag. 

 Example: 

 

 HTML 

 

 { image"<img src="http://imagefile.jpg">" } 

 Block: Can contain anything including code. 

 Example : 

 

 HTML 

 

 { block"<table><tr><td>Some text</td></tr></table>" } 

 

 Web and Text Versions 

 Web versions 

 

 Continue to use the ##webversionurl## tag and Connect will handle the rest. 

 If the client would like different content on their web version vs email message, you can use the following: 

 

   

 

 HTML 

 

 if (content[type] == "email" ) or if (content[type] == "webversion") 

   

 Text Versions 

 

 Use the "Auto Generate Text Version" option in CONNECT or leave it to the AM. 

 No separate text version logic required. 

 

 System Variables 

 These variables provide data from the system for various use cases. They all begin with "system" and are proceeded by the variable name. 

 Eg. ##system:deploymentid## 

 

 

 

 

 Variable 

 Description 

 

 

 deploymentid 

 Provides the ID of the deployment at the time of send and is great for adding context to other tracking code.
