Happy New Year, peeps!
Last night, a fellow Drip user was looking to make a content snippet that says either “Happy new year” or “Good morning” based on the date, which reminded me of a time based greeting snippet I had sitting in my Drip snippets from a past night of experimenting ???. So, I went back and added date and day based greetings.
Find snippet below!
Update!!!
I’ve created a tool so that you can easily create and customise this snippet, you can find it here: Epic Greeting Generator
Subscriber time-based greetings snippet:
This greets people based on their local time.
{% assign rightNow = now | in_time_zone: subscriber.time_zone %}{% assign good_morning = "Good morning, name!+++Morning name,+++Having a good morning, name?+++" | split: "+++" %}{% assign good_day = "Hi name,+++Hey name!+++Hello name!+++G'day name!+++Howdy name!+++" | split: "+++" %}{% assign good_night = "Good evening, name,+++ Hi name, hope you had a nice day,+++ Hi name, hope you're having a nice evening! ?+++" | split: "+++" %}{% assign randomMorning = rightNow | date: "%N" | modulo: good_morning.size %}{% assign randomHello = rightNow | date: "%N" | modulo: good_day.size %}{% assign randomEvening = rightNow | date: "%N" | modulo: good_night.size %}{% assign subname = subscriber.first_name | capitalize %}{% assign the_hour = rightNow | date:"%k" %}{% capture greeting%}{% if subscriber.first_name == blank%}Hi there,{% elsif subscriber.friendly_time_zone == blank %}{{good_day[randomHello]}}{% elsif the_hour < "10" %}{{good_morning[randomMorning]}}{% elsif the_hour >= "10" and the_hour < "17" %}{{good_day[randomHello]}}{% elsif the_hour >= "17" %}{{good_night[randomEvening]}}{% endif %}{% endcapture %} {{greeting | replace: "name", subname }}The everything snippet:
This one has subscriber time-based greetings, Happy Friday, Christmas, New Year’s day and Happy New Year.
{% assign rightNow = now | in_time_zone: subscriber.time_zone %}{% assign good_morning = "Good morning, name!+++Morning name,+++Having a good morning, name?+++" | split: "+++" %}{% assign good_day = "Hi name,+++Hey name!+++Hello name!+++G'day name!+++Howdy name!+++" | split: "+++" %}{% assign good_night = "Good evening, name,+++ Hi name, hope you had a nice day,+++ Hi name, hope you're having a nice evening! ?+++" | split: "+++" %}{% assign randomMorning = rightNow | date: "%N" | modulo: good_morning.size %}{% assign randomHello = rightNow | date: "%N" | modulo: good_day.size %}{% assign randomEvening = rightNow | date: "%N" | modulo: good_night.size %}{% assign subname = subscriber.first_name | capitalize %}{% assign the_hour = rightNow | date:"%k" %}{% assign the_day = rightNow | date:"%A" %}{% assign the_date = rightNow | date:"%B%e" %}{% capture greeting%}{% if subscriber.first_name == blank%}Hi there,{% elsif subscriber.friendly_time_zone == blank %}{{good_day[randomHello]}}{% elsif the_date == "January 1"%}Happy New Year, name!{% elsif the_date == "December 25"%}Merry Christmas, name!{% elsif the_day == "Friday" %}Happy Friday, name!{% elsif the_hour < "10" %}{{good_morning[randomMorning]}}{% elsif the_hour >= "10" and the_hour < "17" %}{{good_day[randomHello]}}{% elsif the_hour >= "17" %}{{good_night[randomEvening]}}{% endif %}{% endcapture %} {{greeting | replace: "name", subname }}Comment below if you need any help with the above!
