If starts with

Conditionally merges different content depending on whether a value begins with the text you give. Use it when the start of a code carries meaning, such as a country prefix on a program code or a phone number.

Syntax

{{#ifStartsWith data value}}true content{{else}}false content{{/ifStartsWith}}

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
Data	Text	Required	The value to evaluate.
Value	Text	Required	The text the value must begin with.

Note: Capitalization is ignored, so US matches a value beginning us.

Note: Only the beginning of the value is checked. To match the text anywhere within it, use If contains.

Examples

The examples below are based on the following sample content:

{{#ifStartsWith Contact.programCode "US"}}United States{{else}}International{{/ifStartsWith}}

A. The contact's programCode field has a value of 123US

International

The value contains US but does not begin with it, so the false content merges.

B. The contact's programCode field has a value of US456

United States
