Is it possible to have conditional in email template?

How to use conditional logic in ChronoForms email templates.

Overview

The issue arises when needing to hide form elements in emails that are conditionally shown on the webpage.
You can embed PHP if/else statements directly in the email template code, ensuring the Rich Text Editor is disabled. Additionally, consider using include statements, Custom Code actions, or Event Switcher actions for more complex conditional email content.

Hi,

I am using a show/hide Javascript to show or hide a group of elements based on a checkbox.
It would be nice if I could also hide these elements from the email template.
Is it possible to use if/else conditions in email templates?

Hello moleculezz,
I'm not a Chrono professional, but after checking your new post, I think that the following links may help:

Nice try, but that's not what I'm looking for😉

Yes it is.

Hi Bob,

And how exactly do I do that?
Can I use php tags with conditionals?

Answer

Yes, example:


<?php if($form->data["checkbox"] == "X"): ?>
Your conditional html code in email
<?php endif; ?>

Hi Moleculezz,

As well as Max's suggestion* you can:

+ Use include statements to add completely different templates or parts of templates

+ Use Custom Code actions to build different parts of templates

+ Use the Event Switcher actions to select different Emails to send.

It does all depend on exactly what you need to do.

* If you use PHP in the Email template you **must** keep the Rich Text Editor turned off.
