Formatting Text in TracCloud with Twig and HTML Many text boxes throughout TracCloud support Twig, this allows greater control in determining how emails are formatted and what data is included. HTML is also supported, allowing to you adjust the formatting of text. From font sizes, colors, and types, to embedding images and video. Twig allows you to pull data from various TracCloud fields to be included in emails and texts via our tag system. We can also use Twig to apply logic to our text. Maybe we only want to include a block of text if the student selected a specific reason, or if a certain Recommendation was selected in a SAGE referral. This chapter will be going over several Twig options available, however, this is not an in-depth guide. Twig isn’t exclusive to TracCloud, and there are many resources available online for more complex configurations if you’d like to go a step further. The point of this chapter is to give some brief examples and possible configuration ideas that you can build off of. Most of the examples here will be formatted for an appointment confirmation email, but Twig can also be utilized in SAGE referral emails and in the upcoming appointments screen for students and consultants. The same concepts apply across the board. TagsEmail tags can be used to pull data from various TracCloud fields to be included in emails and upcoming appointments. Many of the Twig examples in this chapter will be using these tags, whether they’re used as part of a Twig command or just offhandedly included in an unrelated part of the email. A list of tags can be found at the bottom of this chapter (and within the TracCloud menu), but for a basic primer on how these tags can be used in isolation, here’s an example of a confirmation email. Hello, {{Student.First_Name}}
<br><br>
Your {{Appointment.OnlineText}} appointment with {{Consultant.FirstLast}} at
{{Appointment.StartTime}} for {{Course.SubjectCourse}} has been scheduled. If you have any
questions prior to your appointment, feel free to reach out to {{Consultant.Email}}
<br><br>
Your appointment can be joined here: {{Appointment.OnlineURL}}
<br><br>
Regards, {{Center.Name}}
When this email is sent, all the tags we included are replaced with the relevant information for this appointment.
ifif statements will likely be the most commonly used Twig command for most use-cases. This allows you to write out statements such as “if the student selected reason “Exam Help,” then include this piece of text.” Or in the example below, if the appointment is online, include text to specify this.
Hello {{Student.First_Name}},
<br><br>
{% if Appointment.Online == "Online" %}
This is an online appointment.
{% endif %}
<br><br>
Please be ready for the appointment at the time you selected.
If the if statement is true, all text up to the endif line will be printed in the email. Since the appointment this student booked is online, the “This is an online appointment” text was included. Otherwise, it would jump straight to “Please be ready for the appointment…”
{% if Course.Subject starts with "Chem" %}
this text is only included if our subject starts with “Chem”. This is case-sensitive.
{% endif %}
{% if Course.Subject ends with "101" %}
This text is only included if our subject ends with “101”
{% endif %}
{% if Appointment.Online != "Online" %}
This text is only included if the appointment is not online
{% endif %}
{% if Course.Subject == "Math" or Course.Subject == "Chem" %}
This text is only included if the subject is Math or Chem
{% endif %}
{% if (CalcMissedAppointments(Student.Sequence, Center.ProfileID) > 0) %}
You have {{CalcMissedAppointments(Student.Sequence, Center.ProfileID)}} missed
appointments since {{CalcMissedDate(Center.ProfileID)}}.
{% endif %}
