Email Template #if statements

[ategenkamp]

I'm just looking for clarification on the status of #if statements in email templates. I'd like to do something like:

Dear {{#if Person.salutationName}}{Person.salutationName}{{else}}{Person.firstName}{{/if}} {Person.lastName},

I thought this would work since https://docs.espocrm.com/user-guide/...mail-templates says it has Handlebars support since 5.9.0.

I know from some posts say it will only work right on PDF templates and it does, which is great!

I appreciate any help on the status of #if statements in email templates in 6.1.5.

Thanks,
Andrew

Hello,
just see doc "Email templates also support handlebars. It's the same template system used for PDF templates with double-brace placeholders, like {{name}}"

so look here : https://docs.espocrm.com/user-guide/printing-to-pdf/#if

So helpful!

So let's say that I am generating the E-mail using a template from a workflow, and I have some variables there, can I pass these variables using placeholders too? Or will they only work with entity attributes?

Thanks!

Yes you can pass variables from workflow to the email template using a placeholder {$$variableName}, you need to use save formula to save the variable before sending the email.

Good luck
