Below is a list of statements and conditions the platform supports.
Note that operators and programming languages evolve, making it nearly impossible to summarise and present all available options. If you are unsure, need help, or require the support of a new operate please reach out to your account manager.
| Statements | |
|
if
|
An
if
statement is a fundamental control structure that allows you to make decisions based on certain conditions. Depending on whether a condition (see below) is true or false, your chatbot will execute one of the blocks of code you make available. For example, your if
statement could check whether a variable contains a value. |
|
for
|
A
for
statement, also known as a loop, is a fundamental control structure that allows you to repeat an action multiple times. It’s commonly used when you want to perform a task a specific number of times or iterate over a collection of items. For example, your for
statement could create as many cards in a carousel as there are values in your database. |
| Conditions | |
|
starts with
/ ends with
|
Checks whether the value inside a variable starts or ends with a specific (set of) character(s). Example: –
{% if custom.get.variable starts with ‘H’ %}
– {% if custom.get.variable ends with ‘.com’ %}
|
|
in
/ not in
|
Checks whether the value inside a variable is contained (or not) as part of a series of value. Example: –
{% if custom.get.variable in [1, 2, 3] %}
– {% if custom.get.variable not in [1, 2, 3] %}
|
|
is even
/ is odd
|
Checks whether the value inside a variable is an even or odd number. Example: –
{% if custom.get.variable is even %}
– {% if custom.get.variable is odd %}
|
|
is defined
|
Checks whether a variable has been declared or assigned a value. Example: –
{% if custom.get.variable is defined %}
|
|
is divisible by()
|
Checks whether the value inside a variable is divisible by another value (number). Example: –
{% if custom.get.variable is divisible by(3) %}
|
|
is empty
|
Checks whether a variable is empty. Example: –
{% if custom.get.variable is empty %}
|
