You can use Handlebars merge fields to create simple conditional logic statements in your Account Engagement content. These statements render default content when prospect records don’t contain a value for certain fields.

Keep these considerations in mind when you work with conditional content statements:
- Conditional statements create one-to-one replacements for empty field values, but they don’t evaluate fields for the type of data they contain. For example, you display certain content based on whether a prospect has data for their City field, but not based on whether their city is San Francisco.
- If you specified a default value for a field and created a conditional logic statement, the default value populates instead of the statement.
- You can nest up to 3 conditional logic statements.
Format your merge fields like this to create your conditional content statements:
{{#if field.name}} {{else}} {{/if}}For merge fields that contain links, place each link on a separate line like this:
{{#if Merge.Field}}
https://www.example.com{{Merge.Field}}
{{else}}
https://www.example.com/signup
{{/if}}This table shows the syntax and an example of a conditional statement.
| Syntax | Example |
|---|---|
|
{{#if Merge.Field}} Show this text when a prospect record includes a value for the specified field. {{else}} Show this text if the field is blank. {{/if}} |
{{#if Recipient.FirstName}} Hi {{Recipient.FirstName}}, {{else}} Hello! {{/if}} |
