Hi all,

Iam currently trying to create a dynamic email template for a huge company that has different divisions. Every division has a different color for marketing emails.

I want to make it very easy for my client, so my idea is to create one email template and to use one colored devider which changes the color automatically depending on the content settings that has been chosen. As every division has an own address and contact details, we created different content settings and I already added a custom field to the content settings to add the Hex color code.

It should look like this screenshot, I have one background image and on the buttom of the picture on the left side there should be a devider in the color of the division that has been choosen in the content settings.

My code is currently looking like this, but Iam not sure how to change the code that the dynamic Hex color code will be put from the content settings.

<div style="display: block;

width: 100%;

;">

<tbody>

</td>

</tr>

</tbody>

</table>

</div>

I already tried it in this way, but it doesn't worked.

</td>

</tr>

Does anyone have an idea to solve this?

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards,

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Firstly your divider should be below:

actually the divider height and clolr are controlled by border-bottom attribute.

Secondly, I've attempted to make your customization work but didn't get success.

- I tried to insert dynamic into element attribute likes:

But CRM had ignored it after I went the marketing email live.

- I also tried to use conditional statements:

{{#if (eq msdyncrm_contentsettings.msdyncrm_name 'Blue content setting')}}
{{/if}} Normal

But CRM couldn't resolve expression with content settings and show me error.(Marketing email got in Error status)

- I even tried to put dynamic expression in right side Propertie setting menu.

So my thought is that currently we could only show field value as text on marketing email from content setting,

there are many limitations to add more customization.

So my workaround for you is that you could use information/data from contact's fields or contact's related entity fields as condition to show different color dividers,

there shall be other customized fields on your contact entity to distinct people from different divisions.

For example, I show different divider color based on contact's company(account) region.

1. Add a custom code block and add conditional statements code

2. Code

{{#if (eq contact.contact_account_parentcustomerid.address1_country 'North America')}}
{{else if (eq contact.contact_account_parentcustomerid.address1_country 'Europe')}}
{{/if}}

3. Then you can see different final result in Preview mode:
