Skip to main content

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!

Hi Krystina Boozer -- this is a great suggestion, and totally makes sense. We will definitely keep it in mind as we plan future Catalog projects.


I believe we did something similar with a data feed timeout issue. Through handlebars we check to see if the result set returns anything ( {{#if data.products[0].title}} ) and if nothing comes back we either display nothing, or we have something else display depending on what the email is. I would assume you could do something similar with Catalog results. I haven't done that but a good thing to keep in mind as our company gets deeper into content stored in a catalog.
