Escaping Double Curly Braces in Make.com: A Guide

Have you ever faced a problem where you're trying to output HTML in a webhook response and you're using double curly braces, like this:

{{ statusMessage }}

And you find that 'statusMessage' is being recognized as a variable, even when you don't want it to be? Well, you're not alone. This is a common issue faced by many Make.com users, and it's due to Make frontend IML syntax that somewhat resembles mustache template syntax for variables and formulas.

But don't worry, there are a few ways to solve this problem. Let's go through them step by step.

Method 1: Using the '+' Operator

The first method involves using the '+' operator. Here's how you can do it:

{{{+}}{ statusMessage }}

This method works perfectly and you should no longer face the issue of 'statusMessage' being recognized as a variable.

Method 2: Using {{null}}

Another method you can try is placing a {{null}} between either set of curly braces, like this:

{{null}}{ statusMessage }}

This should also solve your problem.

So there you have it. Two simple methods to prevent 'statusMessage' from being recognized as a variable when outputting HTML in a webhook response. Remember, the key is to understand the syntax and how it works. Once you do, you'll be able to solve such problems with ease.
