Marketo Velocity Script Error While Changing CTA Link Based on Lead Country

Hi everyone,

I have a requirement where the email content remains the same, but the CTA link needs to change dynamically based on the lead's country using a Velocity Script in Marketo.

However, I'm getting an error when I deploy the campaign.

Requirement:

• Same email template for all recipients.
• Change only the CTA URL based on the lead's country.
• Example:
  • US → www.youtube.com
  • Canada → https://example.com/ca
  • India → https://example.com/in

Behavior:

• ✅ Email Preview: Works as expected.

• 

   

• ❌ Smart Campaign Send: Fails with a Velocity Script error.

Velocity Script:

#set($country = ${lead.Country})
#set($url = "www.google.com")
#if($country == "India")
    #set($url = "example.com/in")
#elseif($country == "United States")
    #set($url = "www.youtube.com ")
#elseif($country == "Canada")
    #set($url = "example.com/ca")
#else
    #set($url = "www.google.com")
#end

${url}

HTML:

 <td valign="top" align="center" style="text-align: center; padding: 12px 20px; color: #1570EF; font-size: 16px; font-family:Arial; font-weight: bold;background-color: #FFFFFF;" bgcolor="#FFFFFF;"> <span class="mktoText" id="text" mktoname="text" style="color:#1570EF; background-color:#FFFFFF;  text-decoration: none !important;"><p><a href="https://{{my.urlcountry}}" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none !important; color: #1570ef;" data-bipfieldlink="Text-12" data-=""><strong style="text-decoration: none;" data-bipfieldid="Text-12" data-bipfieldlabel="Banner CTA">${CtaText}</strong></a></p></span> </td> 

Error:

Has anyone encountered this issue before? Am I missing something in the Velocity syntax, or is there a better approach for dynamically changing CTA links based on the lead's country?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
