How it works
Snippet-based condition lets you create more personalized emails, as you can split your prospects between two paths, based on certain information about them. You can base this condition on all of our snippets (except the ‘Timezone’ one) so feel free to discover all the possibilities.
There are 3 snippets-based conditions to choose from:
If a prospect has a snippet X* that equals your variable - you can specify a value in a custom field that when matched precisely with your variable, will move the prospect to path YES.
If a prospect has a snippet X that contains your variable - you can specify a value in a custom field that, when partly matched with your variable, will move the prospect to path YES.
Please note: if this condition is based on a tag, you have to specify the exact tag, fully written. This has to do with the fact that a given prospect may have several tags, so we need to indicate a specific one.
If a prospect has a snippet X that is not empty - you can create different emails for prospects that have some data in custom fields, as those will go to path YES. Otherwise, instead of being marked as ‘Paused (Snippet Issue)’, the rest of them will be transferred to path NO where you can create an email copy for them without this snippet.
*The X stands for the custom field name and the variable is the value written by you.

How to set it up
1. Create your if-campaign.
2. Click on ‘ADD CONDITION’ and select one of three options:
has snippet X that equals or
has snippet X that contains or
has snippet X that is not empty.
Remember that you can add a maximum of one condition to your campaign sequence.
3. Finish off by adding content to the emails in the YES and NO Paths. Then, import some prospects and send your campaign.
How to remove the condition
In order to remove the condition from your campaign sequence, hover over the condition so the red X appears. Click it and then confirm with the red button "Yes, I'm sure".
Note that you can not delete the condition if even one prospect has already met it.
Starting your campaign with the condition
You can also start your campaign with our snippet-based condition, allowing you to divide your prospects into two paths at the very beginning.
For example, you can divide your prospects into those with snippets of the First Name filled and not.
