Send Contacts Event Sessions they have registered to attend?

We are trying to create a dynamic email that will use a for each to send the details for the individual sessions that a users has registered for. We have tried a bunch of variations of:

<tr>

<td>{{this.msevtmgt_startTime}}</td>

<td><a href="">{{this.msevtmgt_name}}</a></td>

<td>abcde</td>

</tr>

What are we doing wrong?

Hey Scott,

Here's how for-each works - it will loop through related entities to a contact (of a particular relationship). Within each loop, you can add a "if" condition - to check whether that related entity matches some criteria - and then perform actions based on that.

Let's look at an example.

You have an event with 3 sessions (that you want to display in chronological order, so this tip is especially valuable to you).

Session 1 - 10 AM
Session 2 - 11 AM
Session 3 - 1 PM.

What you need to do is create an email for that particular event (which you're doing anyway) - and create a table/list of ALL sessions. Then, wrap each list item in a for-each loop (and if condition) to check if the person receiving that email registered for that session at all. (Yes, this is a bit time consuming and we're making it easier in the future - but this workaround should get you unblocked for now).

So this means your email would look like: (event ID for your event is 123)

Session 1 - 10 AM

</if></for>

Session 2 - 11 AM

</if></for>

Session 3 - 1 PM

</if></for>

This way, for each row of the list, the system will check if the person registered for that particular session - and only then display the row.

Please reply here if you'd like help with the code here. Please note that a frequent request of event communication is not just to display the list of sessions, but to display them in a particular order/format. This method should let you tightly control such a display.
