Velocity Scripting with Segmentation

Hi,

 

I have this velocity working with segmentation. I'm able to get the first baseUrl populated, however the second baseUrl1 is not working. This is how it displays:  ${url}/ 

 

 

#set( $AssetId = $mktmail.xMarketoIdHdr.split(":")[5] )
#set($utm_campaign = "utm_campaign=" + $esc.url($AssetId))
#set($utm_source="Nurture")
#set($utm_content="ABC")
#set($utm_term="CDE")
#set($utm_id = "utm_id=EFG")

#set($baseUrl = "www.abc.com?formid=001&utm_medium=Email&utm_source=$utm_source&utm_content=$utm_content&utm_term=$utm_term")
#set($baseUrl1= "www.abc.com?formid=002&utm_medium=Email&utm_source=$utm_source&utm_content=$utm_content&utm_term=$utm_term")

#if($lead.Segmentation_Test_1000.equals("Stuff"))
    #set($url = $baseUrl+"&"+ $utm_campaign + "&" + $utm_id)
#elseif($lead.Segmentation_Test_1000.equals("Other Stuff"))
    #set($url = $baseUrl1+"&"+ $utm_campaign + "&" + $utm_id)
#end

 

 

I've also tried including https:// protocol as well and still not working

Do you know what the reason might be? Thanks

You’re likely running into known behavior of the Velocity Introspector when reusing using the same $variable.

 

Try it like this instead (also fixing up some variable names that were semantically inconsistent):

#set($AssetId = $mktmail.xMarketoIdHdr.split(":")[5] ) #set($utm_campaign = $esc.url($AssetId)) #set($utm_source = "Nurture") #set($utm_content = "ABC") #set($utm_term = "CDE") #set($utm_id = "EFG") #set($baseUrlsBySegmentation = { "Stuff": "www.abc.com?formid=0001", "Other Stuff": "www.abc.com?formid=0002" }) #set($url = $baseUrlsBySegmentation[$lead.Segmentation_Test_1000] + "utm_medium=Email" + "utm_campaign=${utm_campaign}" "utm_source=${utm_source}" + "utm_content=${utm_content}" + "utm_term=${utm_term}" + "utm_id=${utm_id}" ) <a href="https://${url}">Go</a>

Thank you, Sanford.

 

Good point, but it still didn't work. Since this was quite urgent, I went with one token per each segment, so I created two tokens. Luckily for me I only had two segments, but I'm still curious to solve this, as maybe in the future the segmentation will have 10-15 segments, and I need to find a solution for doing this in one token.
