How to use javascript variable to check condition and use in email delivery template

Hi,

 

I have used Javascript code to make a functional call using API. I have stored that value in a variable. Now, I'm trying to use the value to check if the value of variable is greater than static value and if yes, I want to go ahead in further step in workflow. If not, I want to end the workflow.

 

Also, I want to use the variable value in email delivery.

 

I have tried few things to do this however, I was just able to fetch variable in Javascript code block and after that, there are only errors.

 

Can anyone help with first part of question - that is, trying to check variable value against static value ?

Hi @vinay16 ,

You can use 'Advanced JavaScript Code' Activity for your use case.

Copy paste the script in Advanced JS, and pass your variable value as mentioned below,

vars.variable_Value= 1000; //Pass the Variable value here vars.staticNumber = 100; //HardCode Static value here if(vars.variable_Value > vars.staticNumber) { instance.vars.variable_Value = vars.variable_Value; task.postEvent(task.transitionByName("ok")); } else { task.postEvent(task.transitionByName("no")); }

To add the variable in Delivery,

1) Delivery > script tab,

delivery.variables._var[0].stringValue=instance.vars.variable_Value;

2) Delivery > Property > Variable's tab > Add > Name: variable_Value > Ok

3) Now you can call this variable in email body, Delivery Parameters > variable_Value

Hello @vinay16,

Take a look at this for taking variable to the delivery
https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-campaign-classic-questions/how-to-display-a-workflow-variable-value-in-email-delivery/td-p/256527

 

In any filtering condition you can bring the variable in by following expression

$(vars/@myvar) $(instance/vars/@myvar)

      Hi,

       

      Thanks for your reply.

       

      I have used "Advanced Javascript Code" and wrote the following code -

       

      vars.jackpotAmount = function for fetching the value --- I was able to fetch the value.

       

      After that I have used query in which I'm comparing the value of this variable against static value and I could get result out of this step as well. Also, added jackpotAmount as complementary information in this query. 

       

      In delivery - I have used <% targetData.jackpotAmount %> - but I am getting empty result. I am not sure what is the reason behind that?

       

      Can you please help ?

       

      I have attached relevant images.

      If you pause delivery and run the workflow can you see that variable populated in target data?
