Macro text based on day of the week

Hi there,

We were wondering if it's possible to end an e-mail with 'Have a good day!' or 'Have a good weekend' based on the day of the week? We would like to implement this within some of our macro's. So:

Monday to Thursday: 'Have a good day!'

Friday to Sunday: 'Have a great weekend!'

Thanks in advance for your input! :)

Kindest regards,

Joris

      You should be able to get something to work using liquid. https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203662146-Understanding-Liquid-markup-and-Zendesk-Support

      You can try...

      {% assign day = 'now' | date:'%u' | plus: 0 %}

      {% if day >= 6 %}

        Have a great Weekend!

      {% else %}

        Have a great day!

      {% endif %}

      Hello, out of curiosity, would there also be a code for the type of day of the week? Ex. How are you this Monday? I like this preference since it has a more personal touch. Thanks in advance!
