Using a catalog to populate a push based on date

Hi. 

I created a catalog in Braze with 3 fields:
id
title
preheader

The id column is a date yyyy-mm-dd

I then created a selection where id equals {{today}}

I followed Braze support to use this as my push message:

{% catalog_selection_items anchor today %}

{{ items[0].preheader }}

However, nothing is populating.  

Does anyone have a solution?

    Hmmmmm... the only thing that sprang to mind was verifying the catalog has entries for the current date? If there are no entries for {{today}}, the selection will return empty.

    Hi, if you are using liquid for {{today}}, please make sure to add the time zone that you're checking from.

    Try using code snippet like below:

    {% capture currentDate %}
    {{ "now" | time_zone: 'Australia/Sydney' | date: "%Y-%m-%d"  }}
{% endcapture %}
{% catalog_items my_catalog {{currentDate}} %}
{{items[0].preheader  }}

    This should work as we are using successfully.

    Make sure to update the time_zone to your environment's timezone.
