Liquid syntax in email code editor

Hi I am trying to put a conditional statement in an HTML email template with the code editor, like {% if payload.socials != "" %} <tr> <td colspan="2" valign="middle" id="social"> {{payload.socials}} </td> </tr> {% endif %} However, that throws a syntax error on the 'if' statement. How can I check if my payload.socials parameter is not empty? NB I can check for {% if payload.socials %} but that is true even if payload.socials is "". And if I do not provide a payload.socials, then I get an error that my trigger message does not match the payload scheme (obviously).

@Casper Checkout this code. You need to use apostrophes in place of double quotation marks 
{% if payload.socials != '' %}
<tr>
    <td colspan="2" valign="middle" id="social">
           {{payload.socials}}
    </td>
</tr>
{% else %}
<tr>
   this is else block
</tr>
{% endif %}
{% if payload.socials != '' %}
<tr>
    <td colspan="2" valign="middle" id="social">
           {{payload.socials}}
    </td>
</tr>
{% else %}
<tr>
   this is else block
</tr>
{% endif %}
