How do I Nest If/Then statements

Question

I'm trying to add a word, as well as a comma but only if the next field isn't empty. If it is empty then I just want to add a word because it's the end of a list. My problem is if the field is empty, it won't show my word and Product1.

I'm sure I'm missing something simple but I can't figure it out. I had it as an Else but it kept showing the word and not the product1.

%%[ if not empty(@Product2) then ]%% 
  not empty 
%%= v(@Product1) =%%,
%%[ if empty(@Product2) then ]%% 
  empty 
%%= v(@Product1) =%%%%[ENDIF]%%%%[ENDIF]%%

What am I missing?

Answer 1

You should be able to do this in one line with an iif() (inline-if) statement:

%%=v(@Product1)=%%%%=iif(not empty(@product2), concat(", ", @product2), "")=%%

Of without the iif():

%%=v(@Product1)=%%
%%[

if not empty(@product2) then

  ouput(concat(", ", @product2))

endif

]%%
