  • 1.  Logic tags - Commands beyond EQUAL_TO and NOT_EQUAL_TO

    Posted 05-20-2022 11:52

    HI all,

    my first time reaching out to the crowd and hope to find an answer here. Many thanks in advance.

    In my confirmation email I already use LogicTags to distinguish what text to send to groups by admission item. This is easily done using an EQUAL_TO logic. 

    {%IF: EVALUATE({[C-MY ADMISSION ITEM]}) EQUAL_TO "In person" %}Text{%ELSE%}Other Text{%ENDIF%}

    However, I would also like to distinguish if a certain field in the contact record (which is available as a tag) is populated or not, i.e.

    IF FIELD IS EMPTY/BLANK THEN TEXT ELSE OTHER TEXT

    Any clue how the statement needs to look like? Already tried EQUAL_TO "" or some statements with BLANK or EMPTY but to no avail.

    Thanks a lot!

    I'm not a programmer – but did you try "null" instead of blank or empty?

    Thanks a lot, Jennie. Good approach and suggestion. Tried it with ISNULL And NULL but, unfortunately, it didn't do the trick.

    I suppose that contact filed field can be anything?

    In principle, yes. Any field that can be used as a tag. In this case I'm especially looking at the "Salutation" field (which might be customized)

    The only thing I can think of is multiple emails using the filter.

    Curious if anyone has gotten this to work in Flex yet.  In Classic, you used to be able to do:

    {%IF: EVALUATE({[C-MY ADMISSION ITEM]}) EQUAL_TO "" %}Text{%ELSE%}Other Text{%ENDIF%}

    I have been trying to like an hour with various formatting to make it work like it did in Classic, but I cannot get Flex to recognize EQUAL_TO ""

    I got this working in the most absurd Cvent of ways.  If you edit the Logic Tag directly in the editor (using the code from my prior post) to check for a blank using "", it will NOT work...

    IF you paste that same code into NotePad, and paste it back into the editor, it will work.  The working code I am using is:

          {%IF: EVALUATE({[C-ANSWER:Allergies]}) EQUAL_TO "" %} I do not have any allergies{%ELSE%} {[C-ANSWER:Allergies]}{%ENDIF%}

    This ONLY worked if I pasted it from NotePad.  Even once working, if I copy/paste that same code elsewhere in the email (without changing anything) it breaks again.
