  • I saw some pictures of my class’ 10th reunion not too long ago and it was really just filled with people I had zero interest in interacting with. I don’t really care what they’re doing or want to reconnect with them.

    That Walmart would just be me shopping but hating being at Walmart because it’s 2024 and they still don’t have tap to pay at their self checkout.














  • Yeah, you still have to draw in all those values through lookups or just set the variables manually but if you keep getting a failed send or that shitty 500 error on a cloudpage, the try/catch block prevents it and will actually display the error. Should look something like this:

    <script runat=“server”> Platform.Load(“Core”,“1.1.1”); try{ </script>

    %%[ your AMPscript block goes here ]%%

    <script runat=“server”> }catch(e){ Write(Stringify(e)); } </script>

    SFMC is Salesforce’s red headed stepchild. The product has been neglected into the ground and they keep shoehorning random shit into it then neglecting that, too. Ad Studio, Social Studio, and Interaction Studio were all different things they bought and slapped a coat of SF branded paint on then let die. It is such a weird product but EVERYONE has it and it gives me pretty good job security knowing how to make it function about half the time.




  • Wrap the Ampscript in an ssjs try/catch block and debug all your shit on a cloudpage. ;)

    Everyone that works in SFMC for an extended period of time hates SFMC. Or at least has a love hate relationship with it. I think Salesforce is the most worthless company in existence and John Mulaney’s anti-SF rant at Dreamforce brought a little light to my life.

    I very rarely actually use Ampscript anymore. Almost everything is done in ssjs in my instance. Thank fuck I’m not consulting anymore and don’t have to deal with other company’s stuff.
