Work with conditional rules conditions
Conditional rules are sets of rules that define which content should be displayed in your messages, depending on various criteria like profiles’ attributes, audience membership or contextual events.
Conditional rules are created using the expression editor and can be stored if you want to reuse them across your contents. Learn how to save a conditional rule to the library
Access the conditional rule builder access
Conditional rules are created from the Conditions menu within the expression editor, which is accessible either:
-
From the Email Designer, when enabling dynamic content for a component in the email body. Learn how to add dynamic content into emails
-
In any field where you can add personalization using the Expression Editor.
Create a conditional rule create-condition
The steps to create a conditional rule are as follows:
-
Access the Conditions menu from the Expression Editor or the Email Designer, then click Create new.
-
Build the conditional rule according to your needs. To do this, drag and drop and arrange the desired attributes from the left menu into the canvas.
The steps to combine attributes into the canvas are similar to the segment building experience. For more information on how to work with the rule builder canvas, refer to this documentation.
Attributes are organized into three tabs:
* **Profile**:
* **Audiences** lists all audience attributes (i.e. status, version etc.) for [Adobe Experience Platform Segmentation service](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-platform/segmentation/home.html?lang=en),
* **XDM Individual profiles** lists all the profile attributes associated to the [Experience Data Model (XDM) schema](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-platform/xdm/home.html?lang=en) defined in Adobe Experience Platform.
* **Contextual**: when your message is used in a journey, contextual journey fields are available through this tab.
* **Audiences**: lists all the audiences generated from segment definitions created in [Adobe Experience Platform Segmentation service](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-platform/segmentation/home.html?lang=en).
