TSL IF statement [[[IF expr]]] [[[/IF]]]

The IF statement enables you to selectively perform tasks within your TSL message, based on some criteria which evaluate to TRUE or FALSE.

Syntax

[[[IF expr]]] message [[[/IF]]]

Inputs

• expr: is an expression that evaluates to TRUE or FALSE

• message: is a TSL message, so it can contain plain text and other TSL conditions

Example

Suppose you want to create a welcoming message after a user has logged in to your application. Then you could create the following TSL message:

Welcome [[[IF user.gender = 'male']]]Mr.[[[/IF]]] [[[IF user.gender = 'female']]]Mrs.[[[/IF]]] [[[user.first_name]]] [[[user.last_name]]]

When user John Doe logged on, the message shown in your application is: “Welcome Mr. John Doe”

When user Jane Doe logged on, the message shown in your application is: “Welcome Mrs. Jane Doe”

If the gender is unknown the message will look like this: “Welcome Jane Doe”
