token inside email script token?
I'm trying to find out if there's a way to pass one token into another? On the surface it may seem redundant, but let me explain.
It's a newsletter, with intro text. The email has a bunch of segmentation, but we're trying to streamline this intro - the Default Segment, will have one intro, different every month. Then there will be a different intro that is placed in all the other segmented emails - changed each month, but uniform across all except the default segment.
The direction I took is to create a code token to switch out "intro" content in an email with "if/else" statements, based on the value in a prospect's "newsletter_version" field. What I'd hoped to do is ...
a) pull two basic text tokens into that code token - so I can have people edit those tokens without affecting the primary code token - OR the email.
b) not use a custom field in the database. I'm trying to avoid adding extraneous fields.
c) Not use segmentation... assuming I'd have to edit each of 20 segments each month. I'd rather it be set in one place, when it's for multiple places.
I hope that made sense.
I'd hoped maybe something like this would work, but no luck:
#if(${lead.newsletter_version} == "b")
#set($introtext = {{my.Intro 1}} )#elseif(${lead.newsletter_version} == "c")
#set($introtext = {{my.Intro 2}} )In this scenario, the less code-savy marketing teammember could edit the two text tokens, my.Intro 1 and my.Intro 2, but leave my code alone.
Or.. maybe there's an entirely different, better way to do this?
