Braze Catalogs. No Required ID? Personalized Recommendations with MD5 Hashing
Hi there! I recently ran into a snag when launching a personalized recommendations email campaign using Braze Catalogs. Turns out, I was missing the required item IDs! This can be a real headache, but I found a workaround and wanted to share it with you. My guide shows how to use MD5 hashing to create unique identifiers from your item titles, even without those original IDs. {% assign title_to_match = {{event_properties.${items}[0].item_name }} {% assign key = {{title_to_match | md5}} %} full guide here - https://medium.com/@artembratchenko/leveraging-braze-catalogs-for-personalized-item-recommendations-a-guide-without-required-ids-e05ac227c111Using Catalog Selections in an Abandoned Carts Canvas
Hi fellows, First, I miss the Slack community. Second, I need help with incorporating Catalog Selections. Any Braze Learning courses that you recommend? My Canvas entry depends on a custom event (add_to_cart) that has aproperty (product_id). I uploaded my catalog to Braze and I want to personalize the notifications in the canvas to include the product name in the message text. My catalog has id, name, price, and all essential catalog info. Can you help me with your input and recommend resources that can help? Cheers
