Waitwhile messages support a subset of the Liquid template syntax for advanced customization for things like conditional logic (if/else), for-loops, operators and more.

Operators & Conditionals

If you want your messages to include certain things only for some customers, using conditionals and operators is extremely flexible.


​if equals

Include some text only if the services matches:

{% if service == "Haircut" %} 
Make sure to wash your hair before coming.
{% endif %}

if exceeeds

Include some text only if duration exceeds some value:

{% if visit > 1800 %} 
For appointments over 30 minutes, make sure to bring an extra blanket.
{% endif %}

if contains

Include some text only if resource name contains "counter":

{% if resource contains "Counter" %} 
Please bring your documentation to the counter.
{% endif %}

elseif/else

Use even more conditions with elseif/else:

{% if service == "Carwash" %} 
Your car wash will take about 30 min
{% elsif service == "Wax" %}
Your waxing will take about 60 min
{% else %}
Your service will take 15-30 min.
{% endif %}

Loops

If you want your to loop over multiple values and show each value, you can use the for-loop functionality.

for loop

Loop over all assigned resources for a visit:

{% for resource in visit.resources %} 
{{ resource }}
{% endfor %}
