Conditional decisions wthout Velocity script

[Neil_Robertson6]

Hi All,

Is there any way to perform simple IF based logic in an email without using Velocity script(s?).  Basically the issue we have is that Velocity scripts do not work with dynamic/segmented content and we require content to be outputted by language.

At a high level (and pseudo code) we need to do the following:

IF myVariable = 0
  SHOW THIS
ENDIF

If the value is not = 0 it should not show the content.  It seems Velocity script is the only way to do this?

Thoughts?

Thanks

Hi Breno,

APEX is perhaps not really an option - the question really is can you do conditional code in an email without using Velocuty script - my guess is, based on the answer, it is not?

It's a feature gap really - Velocity works normally but does not work with dynamic content blocks.

I often do that in Salesforce using APEX, populting a custom field visible to the Marketo user.

The email just references the token corresponding to that field such as {{my.conditional}}

That technique is agnostic to dynamic content and segmentations. Simple and very effective.
