Aborting Messages

Optionally, you can also now abort messages within conditionals. Here are some examples of how this feature can be used in marketing campaigns:

Aborting message if “Number Games Attended” = 0:

For example, let’s say that you did not want to send the above message to customers who had not attended a game:

This message will only send to customers who are known to have attended a game.

Messaging English speaking customers only:

You can message English speaking customers only by creating an “if” statement that’ll match when a customer’s language is English and an else statement that’ll abort the message for anyone who does not speak English or does not have a language on their profile.

{% if ${language} == 'en' %}
Send this message in English!
{% else %}
{% abort_message() %}
{% endif %}

By default Braze will log a generic error message to your Developer Console log:

1
{% abort_message %} called

You can also have the abort_message log something to your Developer Console log by including a string inside the parentheses:

1
{% abort_message('language was nil') %}
