Unleashing the magic of AMPscript

🚀✨: Let’s spice up our email game! Imagine personalized emails that speak to your subscribers like a BFF, serve sass to Gold members, and dance through dynamic content like a rockstar. Date formatting? Easy-peasy! It’s time to script the show! 🎭💻

Personalization with Subscriber Attributes:

Scenario: You are sending a personalized email to your subscribers. The email begins with a warm greeting using the subscriber’s first name, making the communication more friendly and engaging.

Dear %%=AttributeValue(“FirstName”)=%%,

Thank you for being a valued subscriber.

Conditional Content Display:

Scenario: You want to send targeted messages to different segments of your audience based on their membership type. Gold members receive a special appreciation message, while others are encouraged to upgrade for exclusive benefits.

%%[

var @MemberType

set @MemberType = AttributeValue(“MemberType”)

]%%

%%[ if @MemberType == “Gold” then ]%%

Thank you for being a Gold member!

%%[ else ]%%

Upgrade to Gold for exclusive benefits.

%%[ endif ]%%

Dynamic Content Blocks:

Scenario: Your marketing campaign needs to cater to subscribers with diverse interests. Depending on their preferences, you dynamically showcase different content blocks in your email, ensuring each subscriber sees content relevant to their interests.

%%[

var @Preference

set @Preference = AttributeValue(“Preference”)

]%%

%%[ if @Preference == “Sports” then ]%%

Check out our latest sports collection!

%%[ elseif @Preference == “Fashion” then ]%%

Discover the latest fashion trends.

%%[ else ]%%

Explore our diverse product range.

%%[ endif ]%%

Date and Time Formatting:

Scenario: You are promoting an upcoming event through email. To create a sense of urgency and clarity, you format the event date dynamically so that subscribers see the date in a human-readable format.

%%[

var @EventDate

set @EventDate = AttributeValue(“EventDate”)

set @FormattedDate = FormatDate(@EventDate, “MMMM dd, yyyy”)

]%%

Save the date: %%=v(@FormattedDate)=%%

Looping Through Rows in a Data Extension:

Scenario: Your email content is derived from a product catalog stored in a Data Extension. To showcase products in a specific category (in this case, electronics), you iterate through the relevant rows in the catalog, dynamically generating a list of products to include in your email.

%%[

var @rows, @row, @rowCount

set @rows = LookupRows(“ProductCatalog”, “Category”, “Electronics”)

set @rowCount = rowcount(@rows)

]%%

%%[ if @rowCount > 0 then ]%%

<ul>

%%[ for @i = 1 to @rowCount do ]%%

%%[ set @row = row(@rows, @i) ]%%

<li>%%=field(@row, “ProductName”)=%%</li>

%%[ next @i ]%%

</ul>

%%[ else ]%%

No products found in this category.

%%[ endif ]%%
