Sometimes reusing content published elsewhere can be a very efficient way of keeping your e-mails up to date. For instance when a banner showing this weeks special offer or a block containing information about current events, is already used on your website. You can easily retrieve this content from any HTTP(s) location using this FlowStep and assign it a variable name for use in your templates. The URL can also contain variables, so you can also retrieve personalized contents.
Settings
- URL (dynamic): Enter the URL where you want to get the content from.
- Result variable name: Use this variable or specify a variable name that you will use in your template to load content.
Advanced
- Ignore errors: When an error occurs to retrieve external content, the flow pauses . If you check this option, the flow will continue and the email will still be sent. The error will be ignored.
- Set condition for his FlowStep: Do you want to set a condition? Then a new input field will appear. This allows you to set a condition so that a FlowStep is only executed when it meets a special condition. You write a condition in the Freemarker language (https://freemarker.apache.org/).
- Comments: Here you can optionally add a comment, so that your colleagues can see why this Flowstep is being performed.
