Conditional Statement in transactional message center

Hi team,

We have a use case where we have to use conditional statements (if, else and maybe a for loop as well) in a transactional message center email template.

 

Is it possible to do so, can we use conditional statements in the transactional message center email template?

If yes, please provide some examples or documentation for the same.

 

Thanks

    <% var ctx = XML(rtEvent.ctx); %>

<% if (rtEvent.ctx.myValue == true) {%>

display some html block

<%} else { %>

display some another html block

<%}%>

     

     

    The approach is basically the same as normal delivery templates, but in transactional you need to define the ctx variable as above.

      Hi @david--garcia @abhinav99  

       

      I have been trying to implement your steps but it still doesn't work for me.

      Can you suggest what's wrong?

       

      Original method
      <% if ( toString(rtEvent.ctx.@freeText22).length > 0 ) { %>
      <tr>
      <td class="mpbx-27" style="font-size:16px; line-height:22px; font-family:'Core Sans C', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; text-align:left; min-width:auto !important; color:#151515; padding-bottom: 20px;">
      <strong>Sources</strong><br />
      <%= rtEvent.ctx.@freeText22 %>
      </td>
      </tr>
      <% } %>

       

      New method
      <% var ctx = XML(rtEvent.ctx); %>
      <% if ( rtEvent.ctx.@freeText22 == true ) { %>
      <tr>
      <td class="mpbx-27" style="font-size:16px; line-height:22px; font-family:'Core Sans C', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; text-align:left; min-width:auto !important; color:#151515; padding-bottom: 20px;">
      <strong>Sources</strong><br />
      <%= rtEvent.ctx.@freeText22 %>
      </td>
      </tr>
      <% } %>
      <%} else { %>
      <%}%>

       

      Thanks!!

        Try the below;

         

        <% var ctx = XML(rtEvent.ctx); % > <% if (rtEvent.ctx.@freeText22 == true) {% > <tr> <td class = "mpbx-27" style = "font-size:16px; line-height:22px; font-family:'Core Sans C', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; text-align:left; min-width:auto !important; color:#151515; padding-bottom: 20px;" > <strong> Sources </strong><br / > <%= rtEvent.ctx.@freeText22 % > </td> </tr> <% } else { % > //html something else <%}%>
