Hi everyone,

I've got a beans and bacon question for this amazing community here. The beans - segmentation. The bacon - Velocity scripting.

What I'm trying to do:

Use a token in the From Address field, to vary our sender email address. Do this by condition of segmentation that is referenced in the script token.

My testing methodology:

Purely by sending an email though the campaign. No test emails sends or previews.

What I've covered already:

Have ticked the check box in right hand panel for the variable. (Segmentation_Clubs_1003)

My Code:

#if($lead.Segmentation_Clubs_1003 == "Client1")

info@client1.com

#elseif($lead.Segmentation_Clubs_1003 == "Client2")

info@client2.com

#elseif($lead.Segmentation_Clubs_1003 == "Client3")

info@client3.com

#elseif($lead.Segmentation_Clubs_1003 == "Client4")

info@client4.com

#elseif($lead.Segmentation_Clubs_1003 == "Client5")

info@clent5.com

#elseif($lead.Segmentation_Clubs_1003 == "Client6")

info@client6.com

#elseif($lead.Segmentation_Clubs_1003 == "Clent7")

info@client7.com

#else

info@standard.com

#end

Results:

Email delivers but only displays the default from address (info@standard.com)

Any insight is much appreciated! Thank you!

Do it the collection-first way, it's both clearer and shorter:

#set( $senderByClub = {

"Client1" : "info@client1.com",

"Client2" : "info@client2.com",

"Client3" : "info@client3.com",

"Client4" : "info@client4.com"

} )

#set( $defaultSender = "info@standard.com" )

${display.alt($senderByClub[$lead.Segmentation_Clubs_1003],$defaultSender)}

The way you're doing it isn't wrong per se (although the use of == can get you into trouble and I recommend .equals() instead). But use the code above and see if it still fails.

Also, pls highlight code using the Advanced Editor:
