Can I place a expression in the email template?

For Example:

{if(TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_3=="X", "Survey 1  You will be asked 28 questions about {TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1}  This survey should take you 15 minutes to complete ", "")}

{if(TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_4=="X", "Survey 2   This indicator asks you to describe {TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1}.  There are 60 questions related to this survey and you should allow for 30 minutes to complete.  ", "")}

{if(TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_5=="X", "Survey 3   This survey asks you to describe the leadership of {TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1}.  There are 40 statements about your leadership in this survey and you should allow for 20 minutes to complete.  ", "")}

There are three possible surveys the participant can take it could be 1,2,3 or any combination of the three. I don'y want to have to change the email template fro every combination. Attributes 3-5 define what they will take.

Thanks if you have any ideas.

Hello, michaelji,
I suppose you tried if you can use expressions in email templates.
Otherwise: www.limesurvey.org/manual/Email_placeholders

Now my question.
Are there three independent surveys or three parts of one survey?

If there are three surveys you cannot use the {SURVEYURL} placeholder but have to insert the url of the survey manually.

On the other side I think that there are only three parts of one survey (because of the ATTRIBUTE_1 which is unique for all parts).
In this case you could expand your expression to all 7 possible combinations

Just some ideas

The mailing could be done from a 4th survey, which is rerouting to the three surveys.
Since Limesurvey is not supporting "Skip to"-logic (some call it jump-logic) but only "Display-logic"it could be a daunting task to hide all questions of one or two surveys, when having all surveys in one project.

Thanks for the replies.
I have a survey with three parts (they are three different surveys imported into one master survey) which are assigned via a token attribute and set conditions . Any combination of the three can be assigned to a participant. I am trying to provide instructions (basic) or information regarding the survey(s) assigned. I would like to give them information about how long they should allow before they begin: if sub-Survey 1,2 then 30 minutes. If sub-Surveys 1,2,3 then 60 minutes.

I am already providing detailed information in the Survey Welcome Message using this logic, but was hoping to provide similar information in the welcome email.

AND yes, I have tried the if statements in the email template, but the if statements are being ignored or do not show up in the email.

Thanks

Sounds like a bug in LimeSurvey. Not many users seem to use these things and bugs are reoccurring quite often.
What version/build of LimeSurvey do you use?

LimeSurvey can support Expression Manager in email templates since version 1.92.

You can use Expression Manager to use expressions for tailoring an email

www.limesurvey.org/manual/Email_templates#Email_placeholders

Example can be seen here:
www.limesurvey.org/manual/Expression_Man..._in_invitation_email

Version 2.72.4+171110

How can I reference the "Field caption" in a Token Attribute?

I could, maybe, just show {TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_3.Field caption} if there is a way to reference it. I have entered descriptions under the Field caption column in the Attributes Manager.

Hi,
I tested and it worked when I only inserted "ATTRIBUTE" instead of "TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE

{if(ATTRIBUTE_3=="X", "Survey 1 You will be asked 28 questions about {TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1} This survey should take you 15 minutes to complete ", "")}

Thanks, that seems to work. I checked in LS 3.0x and this does not work in it!
