Aborting Connected Content

When you use Liquid templating, you have the option to abort messages with conditional logic. This page covers best practices when doing so.

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

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

Specify an abort reason

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') %}
