AMPscript Core is an open source implementation of the Marketing Cloud AMPscript language.
It is cross platform and works on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Subscriber attributes %%Foo%%
/[Foo]
are supported through a JSON file named subscriber.json
in the working directory.
Supported within the JSON file is a key/value pair of the attribute name and value.
Example:
{
"FirstName": "Logan"
}
The attribute values can be referenced via:
%%[
SET @FIRSTNAME = [FirstName]
]%%
Hello %%=V(@FIRSTNAME)=%%
or
Hello %%FirstName%%
Content functions can reference content local on disk. The files must exist in a Content
subdirectory of the working directory.
Example, if you have a file at Content\EmbeddedContent.ampscript
, then you can reference it via:
%%=CONTENTBLOCKBYNAME("EmbeddedContent")=%%
Data Extension support is provided through CSV files on disk. The files must exist in a DataExtensions
subdirectory of the working directory. The CSV file must contain headers which represent the columns.
Example, if you have a file at DataExtensions\Loyalty.csv
, then it will use this CSV file as the data extension.
DataExtensions\Loyalty.csv
EmailAddress,SubscriberKey,FirstName,LastName,LoyaltyLevel
donnie@northerntrailoutfitters.com,1,Donnie,Stanton,Silver
Index.ampscript
Hello %%=LOOKUP("Loyalty", "FirstName", "emailAddress", "donnie@northerntrailoutfitters.com")=%%
Outputs:
Hello Donnie
