Hide Empty Fields with Conditional Data.

205 - How to display conditional data on signatures

Introduction

There may be cases where some of your users do not have certain properties configured, such as a work phone number or secondary address. Instead of displaying unprofessional blank spaces or empty labels, you can use conditional statements to automatically hide them. In just a couple of minutes, you can configure these rules directly in our editor to keep your brand looking sharp. Plus, getting started is effortless thanks to our easy, 3-click installation from the Google Workspace Marketplace

You can configure the signature so that a field will be shown in the signature only when the user has a value for that specific field, otherwise the field will be hidden since you don't want to show empty fields.


Hide Empty Fields with Conditional Data.

Steps

  1. [00:21] - Access the Signature: Open an existing signature within your editor where you want to apply the conditional rules.

  2. [00:34] - Identify Empty Fields: When you preview different users, you might notice that a user missing a specific data point (like a phone number) will display an empty label.

  3. [00:43] - Add Conditional Block: To fix this, locate the conditional field block, grab it, and place it into your signature editor workspace.

  4. [00:49] - Wrap the Field: Drag the entire field you want to hide—including its text label (e.g., "Phone:")—and place it squarely between the opening if and the closing if statements.

  5. [00:58] - Set the Condition Variable: Copy the exact name of the dynamic variable you are targeting (e.g., the phone number variable) and paste it right into the opening if tag.

  6. [01:09] - Understand the Logic: You are now telling the system: If the user has this specific value set, then show all the content between the opening and closing if tags.

  7. [01:21] - Preview the Fix: Click preview and search for the user who was missing the data. The system will now completely hide the label and the empty space.

  8. [01:34] - Deploy or Save: Once you confirm the layout looks perfect, choose to either Apply the signature now or Save it to apply later.

  • [00:49] - The editor showing a label and a dynamic field successfully placed inside the opening and closing if tags.

  • [01:02] - The opening if tag with the specific variable name properly pasted into it.

  • [01:30] - The preview screen demonstrating a clean signature where the missing data field and its label are completely hidden.

Pro Tips

  • Boost Marketing ROI: Use conditionals to keep your signature real estate optimized. If a user doesn't have a phone number, the extra space can dynamically allow your promotional banners to sit higher up in the email body, increasing their visibility and click-through rates.

  • Maintain Strict Compliance: Conditional data ensures your layout never breaks. This guarantees that mandatory legal disclaimers and primary corporate contact details always remain perfectly formatted and aligned, maintaining a strict compliance standard.

FAQ

  • What happens if I don't use conditionals? If a user is missing data (like a phone number), the signature will still display the label (e.g., "Phone:") next to a blank space, which looks unprofessional. Conditionals prevent this.

  • Does this update automatically if a user gets a new phone number? Yes. Zumpul offers centralized management with automatic synchronization
    . If you later add a phone number to their Google Workspace profile, the conditional statement will detect it and automatically display the field in their signature.

  • How hard is it to connect Zumpul to my domain? It is incredibly simple. Zumpul features an easy, 3-click installation directly from the Google Workspace Marketplace
    .
