The Validation Component lets you validate specific conditions before the journey continues. An error message is returned when validation fails.
Keep the following rules in mind when using a Validation Component
- There are no restrictions on how many Validation Components are added to the journey
- The Validation Component can be preceded by Input and Event Component, another Validation, a Page, Email or Mobile Message or a Data or Lookup Component.
- The Validation Component cannot be followed by a Wave Component, Audience Filter or Wait Component.
- There can be 2 consecutive Validation Components.
Properties
Name — Set a name for this component. This is used to display the component in the design panel.
For every condition in the Validation Component you can set the
- Condition — Enter the condition. When more than one condition is entered, they must all be valid before continuing to the next step in the flow.
Example:
eq(requestValue('Name'), 'Parana') which tests if the requested value for the Name parameter equals Parana.
Or use an expression as in following example where data from a Lookup Component is used to check if the category equals Home:
eq(journeyLookupValue('PARANAORDERS','CATEGORY'), 'Home')
- Error message — The error message returned when the condition fails. This error message will be available from the Personalization Dialog, for instance, as the system variable 'Data error' (expression : [%dataError()%]) and can be used in pages that are sent after the validation is performed.
Events
Two events can occur after the execution. OnSuccess and OnFail.
