Journey Test with Client Data

Hey guys, do anyone has any idea of how to test journey for custom event client's data to our own email (for testing purposes)? I tried but it didn't reflect accordingly to the vent property that I have set to the custom event. - Do I need to set all handlebars to be set up first for it to be reflected?

Setup with the least amount of Journeys possibe

Hi,I was wondering if anyone has a smarter way to go about this setup and how to do it in the fewest journeys possible.I'm setting up journeys for various countries and regions to inform them of the final day they can order for Christmas delivery. Some countries can still order via Express Shipping once the regular post date has passed.I've created lists for each group of countries that share the same final date. I could simply start a three-email journey with time delays that say regular post is ending, express is still possible, and then express ends tonight—all sent across a five-day period.However, I want to include new subscribers we will get in between express starting and ending, as it's a few days where we could gain quite a few users.I'm leaning towards:Journey 1 - One email announcing regular post is too late from tomorrow onwards.Journey 2 - One email announcing express is still possible, which links to journey 3 with a time delay, as the final dates are similar.Journey 3 -

viewInBrowser method and data retention

Hello,We want a feature in our app that shows recently sent emails in an iframe using the viewInBrowser method, but we noticed a message on sent emails.Message"*Note* The contents for a data feed send are not stored. Thus, the subject and body shown may look different from the actual email."Does this mean that the viewInBrowser method will not accurately show the email sent to our users? Or is this if we are not allowed to save PII in iterable? I have checked a handful of messages and do not see missing data, but would like to make sure we can expect a one-to-one representation of what we show and what was sent.Thanks!Jackson

Parameters when using Data Feeds

We're planning on using data feeds to display unique codes and personalized urls. Do we need to append the utm_ parameters to the link itself in the data feed or if we have parameters turned on in the template and defined, will it append the utms to the url?

Is there a way to preview an HTML template in Dark Mode

We are trying to get our Email to display in light mode regardless of the user's dark mode preferences. We want to enhance this in the future but for now, we only want to allow light mode HTML emails.

Show different content when a collection fails to render

We'd like to add an option where if a collection fails to render because of timeouts or what not, instead of forcing a send skip or rendering empty content, we'd like to show something else. I believe this can be done in a snippet but curious if anyone has done something similar. Thank you!

How to know when to send birthday messages

We're looking to start sending happy birthday messages to our customers and currently have a "birthDate" field that is populated in our instance with MM/DD/YYYY format, but it is a string field, not a date field. Any thoughts on how to dynamically check a string field against the current date to trigger a message send every morning? Best I could come up with is creating a month and a day field on profile table and then creating 12 journeys, 1 for each month and then after they enter, run through an up-to-31 day logic check before firing off the email, but that seems pretty tedious and I imagine there's a better way to do this with RegEx or the like. Has anyone else gone through this exercise?

Building Multi-Channel Journeys with Multiple Paths stemming from Trigger Tile

We use Iterable for email, Push/In-App, phone and mail. On a multi-channel journey, we want to send a user down multiple paths after the trigger tile as displayed here. We've been told this format is not supported by Iterable, but we've been using it successfully for numerous journeys over the last 3.5 years.Other Iterable clients and customers, how do you manage and build your multi-channel journeys? Is everything completely linear in a single path? That seems so limited and restrictive.

Has anyone successfully used Handlebar logic to convert a list of state abbreviations to full name?

Hi there, we are looking to personalize an email by specifically referencing the user's state of residence. However, our user records store state information as abbreviations (ex: CA instead of California) instead of the full state name.I'm looking to use Handlebar logic to say something like "if state = AZ, show 'Arizona'" etc. for each state.Has anyone successfully done this?

Industry Specific Webinar/Group Sessions

Very often Iterable is providing amazing Group Sessions that include losts of best practices, tips and tricks, and more about utilizing the platform to use cases most commonly with Retail. It would be nice if there were some sessions that could tailor the message to other industries instead of figuring out how to take the examples given for sales and apply the concept to our unique industries. We're in financial services and so the "product" is technically financial lending. It's sometimes hard to take "use discounts to reward loyal customers" and transform that to "use X to reward loyal customers" when the qualifications on financial product determines what a discount can be. Just want all types of marketers to get assistance with our use cases that aren't "Sales" based.

Experiment Variants able to have different UTM for Google tracking?

Question for anyone out there! I haven't been able to find a resource stating how I can utilize different Google UTMs for each variant I have in an experiment. Is this something that cannot be done in Iterable's experiments or am I just not looking in the right place?

I wanted to capture everyone who hasn't opened or clicked in an email in the last 91 days +This is the logic that I used, but it wouldn't go through and said there was an error when I tried to set it this way.

Emails landing in Gmail promo tab instead of primary inbox

Hi guys, we adopted the Iterable platform a few months ago. The objective is to replace a variety of communication platforms in our tech stack with Iterable. However, we have identified that many of our emails are currently landing in Gmail's promo tab instead of the primary inbox, which significantly impacts our conversion metrics and platform ROI. Please note that these emails are succefully placed in the primary inbox if sent from any of our other platforms (Intercom or Campaign Monitor).We have tried the following in order to improve our email placement:Change of Sender Name, email domain and email address to reflect same configuration from the other platforms (this subdomain has a more establish reputation)Content optimization: significant reduction of images and links and increase of text based designEmail deployment staggering strategyAvoid quiet hours and optimize for recipient's timeBased on your experience, what else would you recommend?IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL INFO:We currently

Bad API Key

Hi.I originally created this discussion to ask a question about something that I eventually worked out while writing this post. I believe the term is "cardboard programmer"!While working through the Iterable Academy's "Foundations: Introduction to API" lesson I was unable to get "getByEmail" API to work. I would continuously get a 401 error with a "BadApiKey" code and the msg "Disabled API key or insufficient privileges". I have permissions to create API keys (which is the one I was using for the lesson) and am able navigate to the User through Audience > Lists page in order to find a valid email on which to search. In the "API Keys" page the key I was using is showing as enabled.What I eventually discovered is that I did not have the key configured as a "Server-Side" type key. As I am as green as they come to Iterable I was not really sure of the implications of this. I will certainly leave comments in the session feedback in a moment, but where can I find documentation about

dateMath generate time left or difference between two dates.

I have a future date, lets call it "lapse" I would like to present the user with the number of days between now an the lapse date. I was hoping to use dateMath {{dateMath lapse -now format="dd"}} however this is not working. Is there a way to calculate the difference between two dates? Or format a date by the time between when an email was sent and the date in the merge parameter?

Email Consistency in Dark Mode

Does anyone know how I can avoid background colors changing in dark mode? For example, if I want the content area background area to be white, how can I set it so it's also white when showing up in dark mode and not flip to black? I notice other email campaigns have achieved this so wondering if there is a way to do this in Iterable or if they must have created those templates elsewhere.

campaign preview with event data

Hello.Is there a way to preview a campaign with user data AND event data?I know I can setup a journey and test the journey with event data, but when different campaigns within that journey use the same event it can be tricky to test them all.Is there a way to preview a campaign with manually entered event data, similar to how you can preview a campaign by entering or loading your own user data?
