Conditional logic in Salesforce Text Email Template

Question

I want to add conditional logic to my text email template.

Here is what I tried:

Destination__c = {!Enquiry__c.Destination__c} {!IF("{!Enquiry__c.Destination__c}" = "Barcelona", "i am barcelona", "i am not barcelona")}

When I sent a test message, I got the following:

Destination__c = Barcelona i am not barcelona

I'm aware of formula fields, but I'd rather have the logic in the template. Although, if I need to make a formula field, I'm willing to do so.

{!IF(Enquiry__c.Destination__c == "Barcelona", "i am barcelona", "i am not barcelona")} — batMask

Try the following:

{!CASE(Enquiry__c.Destination__c, "Barcelona", "i am barcelona", "i am not barcelona")}

If that doesn't work with a simple Text Email Template, try re-creating as a Custom HTML Email Template, it should work.

Conditional logic only works correctly if you use Visualforce Email Template.

For, Text or HTML based email templates, you need to create a formula field which will return results based on your conditions.

Try out this once -

{!IF({!Enquiry__c.Destination__c} == "Barcelona", "i am barcelona", "i am not barcelona")}

Replace {!Enquiry__c.Destination__c} with Enquiry__c.Destination__c

{!IF(Enquiry__c.Destination__c == "Barcelona", "i am barcelona", "i am not barcelona")}
