Can a Dropdown selection not be visible on the email message?

Is it possible for a dropdown selection to be made in TextBlaze, but not be visible on the email message itself?

Here's the use case: I'm creating a message that provides a link for the recipient to schedule a meeting. Different links exist for different team members, allowing meetings to be scheduled with the right person, and a I'm using a dropdown to select the appropriate team member. An ElseIf then injects the correct scheduling link snippit.

As an example, the dropdown shown below should update the italicised text by injecting the correct snippit, based on who's selected. However, I don't want the dropdown to show, in the message itself.
[Team Member Selection Dropdown]
"Please use this scheduling link to book a meeting

Is this possible?

Hi Joseph, welcome to the community :tada:

The short answer is yes something similar to this is possible. Are you on the Business plan? If so, {user} properties will be the easiest way to do this. They let everyone in an org use a shared variable and customize their individual value for the variable (in this case it would be the calendar link).

If not, we can find a different way to do this. Is this snippet being used in Gmail? If so, we can use the Gmail Command Pack to verify the user's email and incorporate that into the if statements.

Let me know if either of those cases applies in this scenario and I can help you get a snippet set up :slight_smile:

Hi Dylan- The User Properties tool may fit the bill here; but is there a way to configure hyperlinks within that? The closest thing I'm seeing is text, and I wouldn't want to use a super long, awkward URL instead of simply having TextBlaze insert "my scheduling link".

Here's an example of one that allows users to add their personal calendar link as a user property. I added a snippet below where you can take the link from the user property and format it nicely. It will show up as 'Schedule time with me here' and the link will be whatever is set as your user property.

{link: {user: calendly}}Schedule time with me here{endlink}
