Hide placeholders on emails that contain no data

Hello John Kenny

In Zendesk, you can use Liquid templating language to control the display of content based on conditions. To hide an entire line if a placeholder has no data, you can use an if statement to check if the placeholder has a value before displaying it.

Here's how you can modify your template to hide the telephone line if there is no phone number:

Requester: {{ticket.requester.name}}
{% if ticket.requester.phone != null %}
Tel: {{ticket.requester.phone}}
{% endif %}
Email: {{ticket.requester.email}}

I've tested and it works as expected, if there is no phone number, the "Tel" is also not shown. 

Hi Jakub

I cannot seem to get it working with custom fields.

In the example below. The New AU Mobile Number field is blank (no data in the database) and the New NZ Mobile has a number in the field, however, the New AU Mobile Number text is still displayed on the email. Example also below.

{% if ticket.ticket_field_1234589965327 != null %}
New AU Mobile Number: {{ticket.ticket_field_1234589965327}}
{% endif %}
{% if ticket.ticket_field_123455900431 != null %} 
New NZ Mobile Number: {{ticket.ticket_field_123455900431}} 
{% endif %}

Email text below.....

New AU Mobile Number:

New NZ Mobile Number: +64 21 345 234

I appear to bet getting somewhere if I use != null and !=  "" like below.

However, when a line is not shown due to there being no data in the field, it leaves a blank line in it's place.

Would you know how I can make it so when a line is not shown, the space where it should be is also not displayed?

CODE:

{% if ticket.ticket_field_123456015119 != null and ticket.ticket_field_123456015119 != "" %}
Door Alarm Code Details: {{ticket.ticket_field_8812386015119}}
{% endif %}
{% if ticket.ticket_field_123455083151 != null and ticket.ticket_field_123455083151 != "" %}
Security Pass Details: {{ticket.ticket_field_123455083151}} 
{% endif %}
{% if ticket.ticket_field_123459965327 != null and ticket.ticket_field_123459965327 != "" %}
New AU Mobile Number: {{ticket.ticket_field_123459965327}}
{% endif %}
{% if ticket.ticket_field_123455900431 != null and ticket.ticket_field_123455900431 != "" %} 
New NZ Mobile Number: {{ticket.ticket_field_123455900431}} 
{% endif %}

Email example when New AU Mobile Number: is removed using Liquid Markup due to it having no data.........

Door Alarm Code Details: 54321

Security Pass Details: 12345

New NZ Mobile Number: +64 21 345 234

Figure it out. I need a hyphen in the endif. Example below:

{% if ticket.ticket_field_123456015119 != null and ticket.ticket_field_123456015119 != "" %}
Door Alarm Code Details: {{ticket.ticket_field_8812386015119}}
{% endif -%}
{% if ticket.ticket_field_123455083151 != null and ticket.ticket_field_123455083151 != "" %}
Security Pass Details: {{ticket.ticket_field_123455083151}} 
{% endif -%}
{% if ticket.ticket_field_123459965327 != null and ticket.ticket_field_123459965327 != "" %}
New AU Mobile Number: {{ticket.ticket_field_123459965327}}
{% endif -%}
{% if ticket.ticket_field_123455900431 != null and ticket.ticket_field_123455900431 != "" %} 
New NZ Mobile Number: {{ticket.ticket_field_123455900431}} 
{% endif -%}

Great collaboration - and thanks for the follow up posts John Kenny!
