Validation for Text Properties with Email Initiation

Not Yet Reviewed

Is it possible to use pattern validation for a mapped text property to filter out emails that are sent to a communication plan?

For example:

The subject value in the "Set Up Email Initiation" is mapped to the variable "Email_Subject". Can I edit the text properties of that variable in the form to prevent emails with a subject that contains "QUIET TEST" from launching an event?

Some Regex fu like --> !(QUIET\ TEST)$

  • Hi Matthew,

    Thanks for getting in touch. It's a great request and something we definitely want to support in the future.

    Right now, I think the best you could do it to create a subscription that checks for the values of Email_Subject that you want to allow.

    You could have the initial event notify a mailing list or some other reduced audience then allow the subscription to notify all the other intended recipients.

    Hope this helps,

    Iain, xMatters

  • Unfortunately this is one of those situations where I know what email subjects I want to exclude but I don't know all of the ones that I want to include.

    Can you create a subscription for a communications plan that isn't a form (ie just email initiation is enabled)? Without enabling the form, will users be able to see to subscribe to it?

    Isn't the same true of a subscription, in that you have to explicitly list the ones that you permit.
