I asked a while back but it was inside of a different thread so maybe it didn't
get the attention it could have gotten.

In some macro tags, there is a value for shipping method. This would allow us
to customize the drive through message and to give our buyers the correct links.

However, I tried using the name we have for a method, with and without the curly
brackets, also tried changing the name of the method to eliminate empty spaces
and replace them with dashes (-) and none of that worked.

As an example, we have a method that is called "DHL Express" (without
the quotes)

I tried using "DHL-Express" and that didn't work either.

It's the 4th method in our shipping methods so I tried using just "4"
and that didn't work either.

Is there something I'm missing? (probably)

If so, what is it, where do I see the shipping method ID?

I'm looking at the conditional macro SHIPMETHODID-EQ:{value} if that helps.

I think you need the actual (database) ID of the shipping method.
You can find that in the URL when editing the shipping method

Wonderful, thanks!

Perhaps this could be in the help pages somewhere, but at least now I know, really
appreciate the help!
