If else condition in email template body not working with dynamic variable

[Ajit]

Hi Team,

We want to put a check in the email template body that if this parameter ${service_accounts_list} returns any value then print the same value else print some message. 

We are using the below code but it is not working.

<% if (${service_accounts_list} != null)print "${service_accounts_list}" else print "xyz"%>

It seems, the problem is when we are putting the variable ${service_accounts_list}  in if condition, also tried with if (${service_accounts_list} == "") .

Could you please help on this?

The email is getting triggered through user update rule.

Thanks

Hello @Ajit,

Could you please try below 

Using if-else: <% if (null!=service_accounts_list && service_accounts_list!='') print "${service_accounts_list}" else print "xyz" %>

Using ternary operation: ${service_accounts_list.size() == 0 ? 'xyz': service_accounts_list}

Thanks.

Hi @sudeshjaiswal ,

The ternary operation worked. Thanks a lot.

Could you please suggest how can we remove extra bracket coming in the variable result from the email template?

Thanks

Hello  @Ajit,

You can use the replace option,

${service_accounts_list.size() == 0 ? 'xyz': service_accounts_list.replace('[[', '').replace(']]', '')}

Thanks.

Hello @Ajit,

Can you please try using the below query,
${service_accounts_list.size() == 0 ? 'xyz': service_accounts_list.toString().replace("[[", "").replace("]]", "")}
or 
${service_accounts_list.size() == 0 ? "xyz" : service_accounts_list.isEmpty() ? "" : service_accounts_list.toString().replace("[[", "").replace("]]", "")}

Thanks.
