I am using a content manager URL to pull content into an email. A hard-coded URL works like a charm. I want to change that URL based on a field in my workflow and I cannot get it to work. For example:

The delivery html looks like this:
<HTML><HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><%@ include file='https://www.google.com/coolstuff' %></P>

</BODY></HTML>

This works fine. But lets say I want the end of that URL to take you to a different page the html would look like this:

</BODY></HTML>

This breaks the URL and renders nothing.

What is the syntax I am missing? or is it even possible?

Hi,

@include can't be set dynamically.

Thanks,

What can I use then for dynamic urls?

Good question. You can diy with the libcurl wrapper in the jsapi:

<%
var hcr = new HttpClientRequest('https://marketing.adobe.com');
hcr.url = 'https://www.google.com/' + targetData.variables;
hcr.execute();
%><%= hcr.response.body.toString(hcr.response.codePage) %>

Note the constructor arg here is 'https://marketing.adobe.com'.
This is to mitigate a broken feature that was recently added to the already buggy implementation, 'urlPermission'.

I have a similar issue, however I'm hardcoding the start of the link in the html and using a personalisation block if statement to append the URl e.g https://www.google.com/<%@ include view="blockName" %>.

When this is sent as a proof, it appends the link with every value from the if and remaining else if statements. In the proof preview screen, it work when I select a user who falls into the if statement, but not when sending a proof.

@Jonathon_wodnicki are you saying this method shouldn't work either?

Hi,

Can you please share what error you received on browser?

In delivery, you need to pass targetData from your Campaign's workflow, if looks like either the target data is not defined correctly or the null value is getting passed as the target data.

You can also debug your code, try to print tagetDate variable both in workflow and delivery and see what result you re getting.

Hope this helps
