If no value exists for "!fname"... what gets sent?
« on: April 01, 2008, 02:19:39 pm »
I am about to load my new LMP with my leads, however some of them have first names to import, and some do not.

Of course, I would like to use their first name in an email whenever possible, using !fname. But I do not want to risk an unprofessional look with random spaces and commas if they do not have a first name in the database.

Is there a way to incorporate some sort of IF statement that would only insert a certain phrase if the user has the available data? For example (and I'm no coder here...)

IF !fname exists, display "Hello John,"
ELSE, display "Hello" (or nothing)

Is this possible?

Greetings,

"First Name" message codes should have an option for "Default value" which is output in case there is no data available.  Simply click "Edit" next to your "First Name" message code to configure this.
