Conditional Shortcodes in Email Notifications and Form Confirmation

You can use conditions inside Form Confirmation or Email Notifications by using our Conditional Shortcodes.

Suppose you want to show a text on your form confirmation based on user submitted data, you can use this type of shortcodes.

The shortcode can be used like this:

[ff_if]

    Whatever you want to show if the conditions matched.

[/ff_if]

The shortcode have 3 parameter:

Field: The first parameter you need to use is the field name where the condition will be applied. For example, if you want to check a value of this radio field, you need grab the field name.

You need to use field=”Your Field Name Here”. As we have the field name now, we need to use this inside our shortcode as below:

[ff_if field="input_radio"]

    Whatever you want to show if the conditions matched.

[/ff_if]

Condition: The second parameter is the condition. You can add various types of conditions such as:

'equal' 
'not_equal' 
'greater_than' 
'less_than' 
'greater_or_equal' 
'less_or_equal' 
'starts_with' 
'ends_with' 
'contains' 
'not_contains' 

You need to use is=”Your Condition Here”, let’s take the first one as an example, at this stage our shortcodes will be:

[ff_if field="input_radio" is="equal"]

    Whatever you want to show if the conditions matched.

[/ff_if]

Value: The last parameter you need to use is the value. The value can be any text or numeric data.

The value need to be added like this to=”Your Value Here”.

Suppose our radio field has two value, which is ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Suppose I want to show a text if the user has selected ‘yes’, so the final shortcode will be:

[ff_if field="input_radio" is="equal" to="yes"]

    Whatever you want to show if the conditions matched.

[/ff_if]

You can use as many conditions you want, for example I will add two conditions based on the user input “yes” and ‘no’, so the shortcode will be:

[ff_if field="input_radio" is="equal" to="yes"]

    Glad to hear that you loved our product.

[/ff_if]


[ff_if field="input_radio" is="equal" to="no"]

    Thanks for using our product. We are working on improvement.

[/ff_if]

Nested Conditions

You can also use another conditional shortcode inside of a conditional shortcode.

Nested conditional shortcode needed to be used like this:

[ff_sub_if]

    Whatever you want to show if the conditions matched.

[/ff_sub_if]

You need to use other 3 parameter (field, is, to) as mentioned earlier.

An example of nested conditional shortcode is below:

[ff_if]

    You can also show something if the first conditions matched.

    [ff_sub_if]

        Whatever you want to show if both conditions matched.

    [/ff_sub_if]

[/ff_if]

Suppose, in addition to our earlier logic, if the user selected ‘yes’, and if he/she gave us a review greater than 2, we want to show a text to that user.

So after using the field name field=”ratings”, conditions is=”greater_than” and value to=”2″ to our nested conditional shortcode, the final shortcode will be:

[ff_if field="input_radio" is="equal" to="yes"]

    Glad to hear that you loved our product.

    [ff_sub_if field="ratings" is="greater_than" to="2"]

        Also, we want to Thank You for your valuable Ratings.

    [/ff_sub_if]

[/ff_if]


[ff_if field="input_radio" is="equal" to="no"]

    Thanks for using our product. We are working on improvement.
