Hi there,
does your template engine support kind of if-statements? Something like if(somevalue<10) "Good job." else "You! did! great!!!"?
Thanks,
Martin

   Hi Martin,

   At the moment, our templating engine does not support conditional statements from the API call. We are working on an implementation of it in the future, but none are working as of yet.

   However, in my experience, you can perform the conditional statement server-side before you make the API call, passing in the necessary content into the call itself.

   Let me know if that works for you, Martin.

   Martin,

   Our awesome developer Scott just informed me that we have an undocumented method for templates and conditional content, that I am now documenting.

   Inside the template, place any conditional content between these variable tags:

   {{?variable_name}}
   Content here.
   {{/}}
   

   And when making an API call, you just have to define variable_name with any content, and it signals the template to include the content within the tags.

   variables: {
     'variable_name': 'Any content here, seriously.'
   }
   

   And of course, variable_name can be anything you want to name it.

   Hope that helps Martin!
