RaiseError()

RaiseError is an AMPscript function in the utility category. Stops the whole render, like it stops a send.

Syntax

RaiseError(message, [skipSend])

Example

%%[ IF Empty(emailaddr) THEN
  RaiseError("No email address on file")
ENDIF ]%%
Email on file: %%=v(emailaddr)=%%
Rendered output
Email on file: ada@example.com

Output produced by AmpSend's AMPscript engine (validated against Salesforce's own test corpus) - not a hand-written result.
