Aborting Connected Content

Using Liquid templating, you have the option to abort messages with conditional logic.

In the following example, the conditionals connected.recommendations.size < 5 and connected.foo.bar == nil specify situations that would cause the message to be aborted.

1
2
3
4
{% connected_content https://example.com/webservice.json :save connected %}
   {% if connected.recommendations.size < 5 or connected.foo.bar == nil %}
     {% abort_message() %}
   {% endif %}

You can also specify an abort reason, which will be saved to the Message Activity Log. This abort reason must be a string and cannot contain Liquid.

{% abort_message('Could not get enough recommendations') %}
