Velocity Scripting an Equation

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

We want to show our leads how much they could save for a certain transaction. The transaction is a custom object field and I believe this can be done with velocity scripting but am unsure of what tool to be using.

Example: Lead custom object field is $500 want to show a 5% savings ($25).

I'm new to email scripting so thank you in advance!!!

You have to know more about how your CO is set up to know exactly how to fit this for your situation, but for a generic CO Product with the numeric field Price, the approach is like this:

#if( !$Product__cList.isEmpty() )
#set( $firstProductPrice = $Product__cList[0].Price )
#set( $savingsAmount = $math.mul($firstProductPrice, .05) )
#set( $discountedPrice = $math.sub($firstProductPrice, $savingsAmount) )
Pay only ${number.currency($discountedPrice)}!
That's ${number.currency($savingsAmount)} 
under the regular price of ${number.currency($firstProductPrice)}!
#end
