I’ve worked in automated marketing for close to a decade now. Use your inbox’s report as spam function. It’ll damage their sender rep resulting in more of their emails automatically going to spam and will usually add you to their application’s system level unsubscribe list automatically. I usually do this if a company’s preference center requires me to log in to global unsubscribe.

Apple’s new power bottom.

“We are for corpo tax breaks”.

That franchise owner is 100% going to catch heat for allowing this to happen without a corpo stamp of approval.

Good. Fuck 'em.

EDIT: Nevermind, corpos are both-siding losers.

But that wasn’t even what happened. The store was closed lmao. He made a batch of fries and fucked off. I honestly can’t believe he even agreed to this outside of that he probably got free McDonald’s.

I have a degree in regular informatics and I don’t really know what that even means. 🤷

Yes, because they understand what a threat to their own existence Trump is. They are doing it out of self interest.

David Duke just likes Jill Stein’s views lmao.

I see a bloodninja reference, I upvote. 🤷

Lol

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.

Salesforce just gives me the other kind of CTE.

I’m 100% going to try this, but I have a feeling that it isn’t going to work in my application. Salesforce Marketing Cloud uses some pared-down old version of Transact-SQL and about half of the functions you’d expect to work just flat out don’t.

The joys of using a Salesforce product.

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.

8/10 Server-side JavaScript

7/10 Ampscript

3/10 SQL

There is something about SQL that I can’t get to click with me. I can run basic queries and aggregation, but I can never get nested queries to work right.

All of these also assume I have access to documentation. Without documentation, all of them are like a 2. 🤷

I think this is my favorite comment I’ve read on Lemmy so far.

What a cunt.

That stupid bit drilled less vs fewer into my head for the rest of my life.

Biggest of lmaos from me, dumbass Paula Deen lookin hag.
