# Conditional Template Variants
YayMail now lets you apply **conditional logic to entire email templates**, not just individual elements.
This makes it possible to create multiple designs for the same type of email and automatically send the right version based on specific conditions.
### From Conditional Elements to Conditional Templates
Previously, conditional logic could be used to show or hide individual elements within an email. For example, you could display a special message only when a customer had a certain role or when an order met a specific condition.
Now, you can take this further by applying conditions **at the template level**.
Instead of changing individual elements inside one design, you can create completely different email templates and let YayMail decide which one to send.
### Create Template Variants
With **Template Variants**, you can create alternative designs for the same email and assign different conditions to each one.
For example, you could create:
* **Standard Order Confirmation** for regular customers
* **VIP Order Confirmation** for customers with a VIP role
* **Wholesale Order Confirmation** for B2B customers
* **Special Order Confirmation** for orders above a certain value
When an email is triggered, YayMail evaluates the conditions and automatically sends the template variant that matches.
#### Example
Imagine you want different order confirmation emails for different customer types:
**Template A — Retail Customers**\
Condition: Customer role is `Customer`
**Template B — Wholesale Customers**\
Condition: Customer role is `Wholesale Customer`
**Template C — VIP Customers**\
Condition: Customer role is `VIP`
When a customer places an order, YayMail checks the conditions and selects the appropriate template automatically.
Additionally, you can set each template variant to **Published** or **Draft**. This is especially useful for seasonal campaigns or limited-time promotions, once a campaign ends, you can simply switch the variant to Draft instead of deleting it, keeping it ready to reuse or update for future campaigns.
Happy customizing! 🪄
