EMAIL stationary interchangeable header & footer

Nikki Valentine Odens

Does anyone know how to make one email stationary for one email  but has a  interchangeable header and footer depending on which group it is sent out to? I would like to avoid making two seperate emails. I was thinking there is some conditional code.

Hi Nikki,

You guessed right: Conditionals are the way to do this.

The most common conditional Convio users create is probably the Group Conditional. Select the header that you want to appear for a particular group, and find the "Conditionals" dropdown in the HTML Editor. From that dropdown, select "Is in group". On the ensuing popup, you can select the group for which you want that header to appear.

For each group like this, you can create and conditionalize a header in sequence. Be warned, though: if you do things this way, a constituent in more than one of these groups will see more than one header. So if these groups are not mutually exclusive, you'll need to nest these conditionals inside each other. For each conditional, right click it, and select "Not a member"...you can then embed another conditional in there!

Thank you, I will test it out

James,

I tried what you suggested and it worked, thanks. But I have another question - what if I have one group but within that group I have 2 half that will get one header (eClub) and the other half that get the other header (newsletter), how do I use that conditional to seperated the two? Does that make sense?
