Ideally we'd do something like this:

liquid

{% assign pull_keys = "welcome_subject_line,welcome_preheader,welcome_header_text,welcome_cta_1" | split: "," %}{% for key in pull_keys %}  {% catalog_items email_translations {{key}} %}  {% assign {{key}} = items[0][locale] | default: items[0]['en-AU'] %}{% endfor %}

So in the email body we could just reference:

liquid

{{ welcome_subject_line }}{{ welcome_preheader }}{{ welcome_header_text }}{{ welcome_cta_1 }}

But we're hitting this error:

Liquid syntax error: Syntax Error in 'assign' - Valid syntax: assign [var] = [source]

Has anyone found a workaround for this? Would love to know how other companies are handling email content translation at scale in Braze. Are you using catalogs, Connected Content or something else entirely? Any approaches or workarounds appreciated!

I'm looking for a CRM Technical Manager to help us architect the future of our technical delivery engine.

Ideally, you’re already a bit of a tech wiz - someone who lives in Braze, speaks Liquid, and loves getting stuck into BigQuery to solve data puzzles.

But if you aren't a technical expert yet, please don't let that stop you. If you have a logical brain, a passion for (and a history in) CRM enablement, and a massive appetite to learn, we want to talk to you. We have a highly technical, supportive team here, ready to mentor you and turn you into a definitive subject matter expert in MarTech strategy.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

• You won’t just 'send campaigns', you’ll be the architect behind our most complex growth or core journeys
• You’ll deep-dive into the 'how' and 'why' of automation, ensuring our data and messaging are always perfectly synced
• You’ll play a key role in defining the workflows and documentation that will allow our team to grow without breaking

In a nutshell, we need a 'Master Practitioner' with the foresight of a Lead. Whether you’re already there or you're looking for the right team to help you get there, this is the place to do it.

• place hodlers for dynamic dates and other dynamic variables.
• each T&C item is related to a content_id within the email it's used in

I have tried both catalogs and json nested profile attributes but both have the same problem where I cannot process the T&C with liquid and also populate a dynamic variable with liquid.

What other options are available in Braze for solving this problem or do I need to consider an external solution and pull in at runtime using connected content ?

• Looking for a full time or near full time contractor, managing the CRM ops team (8 people) who operates in cordial (email) and braze (push and IAMs). The Braze expertise is more critical. I want someone who can be a player/coach, roll up their sleeves and help the team learn more about Braze capabilities and level up their skills
• Need to keep the day-to-day afloat — campaign speed, quality, minimal issues. When there are issues, be comfortable and capable tracking the data sources.
• Ideally has hightouch experience too as most of our Braze data comes in through hightouch
• Bonus: if I can find someone who can help this same team accelerate AI for workflow efficiencies, QA, coding, process improvements that would be a cherry on top
• We are a high volume, highly personalized sender — looking for someone with experience with 100s of millions of sends per month, highly complex campaign logic, high degree of personalization
• Must be in the US, remote is fine

{% assign my_string = '2 Fast 2 Furious' %}
{% assign my_string = my_string | plus:0 %}
{{my_string}}

Outputs "2".

{{'2 Fast 2 Furious'| times: 5}}

Outputs "10"

My workaround is split the string into parts and check if anything in it is not a number, which seems like a really inefficient way to do things. e.g.

{% assign my_string = '2PAC Shakur' %}
{% assign s = my_string | strip %}
{% assign digits = '0123456789' %}
{% assign is_digits_only = true %}

{% assign chars = s | split: '' %}
{% for c in chars %}
{% if digits contains c %}
{% else %}
{% assign is_digits_only = false %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}

{% if is_digits_only %}
Only numbers, but still not ideal if the variable starts with 0
{% else %}
Not numbers, unless it's a decimal. LOL. 
I need another loop or ceil/floor to check if decimal.
{% endif %}

Any chance of adding the equivalent of typeof to Liquid?

Contextual example would be an email that says "On the week starting [dynamic date], this happened."

I tried a workaround using the Catalog (Synchronous) API as a tracker; each time a user enters a step, the tracker increments by 1, and when it reaches the limit, users move to the next step. Unfortunately, the rate limit for updating the catalog through the API isn't sufficient, and there's significant latency when multiple users enter simultaneously. I don't want to create 15 separate Canvases for this. Has anyone worked on limiting users at message step level?

Also, when importing users via CSV that could be in multiple subscription groups should we handle the subscription_group_id to ensure that overlapping users remain subscribed to both lists? Is it automatic? Or would it override each other? 

A fun video we made last week on how to send a 6-month reminder email.

Understanding the date filter and unix time really unlocks SO many different time-related use cases.

And while it still feels hacky… “abort everyday except one” is still the solution for many use cases also 🙏🏻

Let us know any questions!

Thanks in advance!

I've checked the documentation but I can't see a way to do it.

I've tested variations and can only get plain text to work.

// this works
abort_message('my abort reason')

// this doesn't work
{% assign abort_reason = 'reason1' %}
abort_message({{reason1}})
abort_message('{{reason1}}')

There's a custom event that will trigger the canvas and that custom event has a property for the ID of the content they've looked at.

The contentID corresponds to an item in a Braze catalog we have, that allows us to cross reference a pretty name for it based on the ID.

e.g. this Liquid generates the pretty name text, based on a hard-coded ID

{% catalog_items Content 650ac023409211513f7bc7cf %}{{ items[0].prettyname}}

where

• 'Content' is the name of the catalog 
• '650ac023409211513f7bc7cf' is an id for the item
• 'prettyname' is the field in the catalog containing a pretty description

What I need to figure out is how to pull and embed the contentID from the property of the triggering event that starts the canvas and use that to dynamically create the liquid to fetch the pretty name.

I'm assuming it's something like this to get the property value out of the custom event that triggers the canvas

{{event_properties.${ID}}}

but when I replace my hard-coded ID with that, I get a Liquid error

{% catalog_items Content {{event_properties.${ID}}}}{{ items[0].prettyname }}

Guidance/help gratefully received!

{% assign combinedResults = canvas_entry_properties.${data}.results | concat: canvas_entry_properties.${data}.featuredResults %} {% assign results = combinedResults | sort: 'totalEstimatedCost.amount' | reverse %}

The arrays canvas_entry_properties.${data}.results and canvas_entry_properties.${data}.featuredResults are two arrays that contain a list of offers, with each offer having a name, an ID, and a totalEstimatedCost.amount

Using this Liquid code, I want to first create a third array called combinedResults that merges the offers from both canvas_entry_properties.${data}.results and canvas_entry_properties.${data}.featuredResults. Then, I want to sort this combined array so that the offers are displayed in descending order based on totalEstimatedCost.amount, from the highest to the lowest price

However, the issue is that the displayed list first shows the two offers from the featuredResults array sorted in ascending order (from the smallest to the largest price), followed by the five offers from the results array sorted in descending order (from the largest to the smallest price).

Do any of you know why this could happen? the structure of the original arrays is the same.

Thank you in advance!

Is it possible to search and dynamically pull a specific value from a nested profile using Liquid code in a Braze email? 

Example: Users have a nested custom attribute called 'Colour'. User 1 is associated with two profiles: Company A (nested profile [0]) and Company B (nested profile [1]). The value of 'Colour' for Company A is 'Green', while for Company B it is 'Purple'. How can I dynamically retrieve the 'Colour' value for a specific company (e.g., Company A)? 

Note: I haven't used [] indexing as I want to look across all associated profiles per user to filter down for the correct value (example above). 

And the testing code:

{% assign found = false %}
{% for Partner_Name in custom_attribute.Profiles %}
  {% if Partner_Name == "Onsi" %}
    Your partner ID is {{custom_attribute.${Profiles}.Partner ID}}.
    {% assign found = true %}
  {% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% unless found %}
  You do not have a partner ID associated with this account. 
{% endunless %}

Thank you for any help or suggestions you have!

I want to display the date format of a custom property in an email in a different way.

In the propery, we save the date in this format: YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.

I'd like to display the property in the email in this format: DD.MM.YYYY

Does anybody know how I can achieve that?

Thanks so much for your support!

{% capture payload %}

    "contactDetails": "{{${email_address}}}"

I have created this code which worked a few weeks ago, but now isn't working:

{% if {{${country}}} == 'ID' and 'AE' and 'TR' and 'EG' and 'SA' and 'PK' and 'BD' and 'MY' and 'NG' %}

I have tried with or and that doesn't work either!

Any help would be massively appreciated, thank you. 

So I am trying to display some Liquid logic into an email template. The idea is that I have a catalog named house_properties with fields: id, name and description.

Each user has a custom attribute called user_product_id which we should use in the Liquid code to display the name of the product from the catalog if the two id's are the same.

This is the Liquid code I have been using, but apparently is not working. Can someone please let me know what am I missing here?

{% assign user_product_id = {{ custom_attribute.${user_product_id} }} %}

<!-- Loop through each row in the catalog -->
{% for row in house_properties %}
  <!-- Loop through each item in the current row -->
  {% for item in row %}
    <!-- Check if the item name contains the user's custom attribute -->
    {% if item.id == {{ custom_attribute.${user_product_id} }} %}
     {{ item.name }}
    {% endif %}
  {% endfor %}
{% endfor %}

Thank you in advance!

Is anyone aware of this function in Braze/Liquid Logic, or a viable alternative that can be leveraged via API's or other supported methods, that doesn't break the bank?

Thanks

The selection is taking a custom attribute of type array on the user profile and then should display both of the values in the array from the catalog. 

I have used the personalization feature in the email template, but it's not showing up any data.

The Liquid code is as follows:

{% catalog_selection_items TestNew NewSelection %}
{{ items[0].property_name }}
{{ items[1].property_name }}
{{ items[2].property_name }}

The selection looks like on the image: So basically I would like the selection to have all of the properties from the catalog that have withdrawn status FALSE and also have all the values in the array of property_instructed_id custom attribute. In this case the user I am testing with has 2 values in the array, but it's not showing up neither of them.

Can you please help out on what might be the issue here? 

Many thanks

Here it says that event properties schema could not be generated for purchase events, but that the nested data is supported by purchase events. Is nested objects even supported for purchase events on order level?

This is the event that I am using:

{
    "purchases": [
        {
            "external_id": "2023_new",
            "product_id": "Completed Order",
            "currency": "USD",
            "price": 219.98,
            "properties": {
                "products": [
                    {
                        "name": "Monitor",
                        "category": "Gaming",
                        "product_amount": 19.99
                    },
                    {
                        "name": "Gaming Keyboard",
                        "category": "Gaming ",
                        "product_amount": 199.99
                    }
                ]
            },
            "time": "2024-06-20T13:59:30+01:00"
        }
    ]
}

So can you please clarify how can we add liquid tag in order to display the name of the first product - "Monitor"?

Looking forward for your reply!

Many thanks

Could you tell me how to use selections in webhook if you know that?

I want to assign the return value of a selection to a variable.

I have listed the following LIQUID, but it does not work.

{% assign tmp = {% catalog_selection_master_for_attribute %}{{ items[0].product }}%}

As of yesterday/today, I noticed that the Webhook Editor no longer supports color-coded liquid. I think having that color support is huge, especially for beginners who are writing Liquid for the first time. 

The color-code is the only reason I remain on the old HTML editor version. Are there any plans to bring back any sort of color-coding for Liquid in all other channels? Any new color support for JSON?

Thank you!

I would like to implement Liquid to count down the days, hours and minutes before a specific sale ends. Because our rate at which the campaign can be sent is limited to 2,500 per minute, not all customers will receive this message at the same time (It usually takes +-3 hours).

Will the time left before the sale ends be updated for every 'batch' of customers that receives this message? 

Thanks for helping me out!

Kind regards,

Miene

Hope you are all well. I need some liquid help from you. We are using a date from the canvas_entry_property i.e. {{canvas_entry_properties}}.${{creation_date}} and we want to use the {{creation_date}} to personalise our messaging for example "thanks your account is active with us since "yesterday", from "today", or from "tomorrow" else for future dates we want to call the {{creation_date}} with a filter to represent the date as  27 Apr  etc. {{creation_date}} is in UTC format.

Appreciate some guidance here

Cheers

I'm trying to figure out if I'm able to change a currency code to a symbol by using filters or similar. Is that possible? Also, is there a way to capitalize the first letter of each word in a string, rather than just the first word?

Thank you!

I wonder if someone from the community could explain what's the function of the the first chekboxes (from left to right)? - see attached screenshot. ALso, why the checked boxes go unchecked after saving the draft.

Lastly, is there a way to assign the utm_content with the template's name using Liquid? Again, thanks for any ideas would be greatly appreciated. - Wolmar
