Just started using Mautic and I’ve been looking everywhere for how to implement conditional statements in the email body.  
  
  
  
Basically something like

Code:

{if var = a} Then show this {else} Show this

  
How do I get this done?

Hi @ososoba, it is built into the email editor directly: dynamic content. You can evaluate all contact fields and change content according to their field values.

Here is a tutorial for this: [https://mautic.com/help/dynamic-content-in-emails/](https://mautic.com/help/dynamic-content-in-emails/)
