How to use conditional (if) statement in email templates Magento2

In this guide, we will learn how to apply conditional logic (if statements) in Magento 2 email templates. There are two common approaches to achieve this:

1. Using the depend Tag

The depend tag allows you to check whether a variable has a value before rendering content. You can include it in your email template like this:

{{depend info.getNotAllowDiscount()}}
    <h2 style="border-bottom:none;">{{trans 'Review Products'}}</h2>
{{/depend}}

The content inside the {{depend}}...{{/depend}} block will only be rendered if the condition evaluates to true.

2. Using a Custom Block

Another approach is to use a custom block in your email template. This is useful when you need more complex logic or want to include a separate PHTML template. For example:

{{block class='Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template' area='frontend' template='Vendor_Module::email/info.phtml' order=$order}}

Inside your custom PHTML template (info.phtml). You can write any PHP logic you need to conditionally display content.

Example location:
vendor/magento/module-sales/view/frontend/email/shipment_new.html
