Can't figure out email condition??

[Matthews]

Hi, I'm having major problems getting a condition to work on a form email.

I would have thought this is quite simple. I've trawled the forum and adapted all the suggested solutions to my needs, but still not working!

I want to send an email when a record has been edited only when the sales stage of the record is equal to 'closed won'. I've tried ...

return '{bm_bookings___b_salestage}' = 'Closed won';
(As described in the wiki - but doesn't work)

return '{bm_bookings___b_salestage}' == 'Closed won';

Any help is greatly appreciated.

At least it must be ==
you can do
var_dump('{bm_bookings___b_salestage}');exit;

to see what is in b_salestage.
Try with '{bm_bookings___b_salestage_raw}'

What's the element type?

 

[Matthews]

b_salestage is a drop-down element.

Where and how would I use the code you suggested?

 

[troester]

Put the code in the condition; it will show you a blank page with something like
string(xx) "yyyy"

First one using b_salestage displays...

string(28) "

• Closed won

Second using b_salestage_raw displays...

string(10) "Closed won"

 

[Matthews]

Ha, should've wrapped those outputs - its meant to read...

string(28 ) "

• Closed won

"

No space between the 8 and closing bracket, but it keeps inserting a smiley. I also missed the second set of quote marks

 

[troester]

So use b_salestage_raw in your condition (b_salestage seems to contain the formatted HTML string)

 

[Matthews]

Right on! I can see what's happening now - nice one Troester! It works using the _raw data.

So just to clarify for any others having problems, I used:

return '{bm_bookings___b_salestage_raw}' == 'Closed won';

Great you got it.

I put == into the WIKI.
