Example #1
To make a Label that displays different text depending on the value of variables, you must edit the Airscript expression that defines the the text of the Label. Here's an example where we personalize a greeting by inserting the text variable first_name

Example #2
In practice, you might not always have a value for first_name
, so you can disable the Label using IF() and ISEMPTY() to check if there's a name and change the the text displayed in the Label accordingly.
