Troubleshooting Clay System Errors in Email Campaign Intros

·
·

Hi, I'm using Clay to produce unique intros for an email campaign based on recent company news. However, where there is no news to be found, the system is still populating the cell with an error message. If this is fed into the campaign, it will look horrendous. No matter what I include in the prompt, it's refusing to leave the cell blank. I'm using Claude 3.5 Sonnet. My prompt reads as follows: Create a concise, personal email introduction using the positive News Snippet, substituting "your company" for their name. If News Snippet or other news is unavailable, leave blank. Do not include greetings or mention an inability to access content. Ensure the word "speciality" is correctly spelled. Output the text in one sentence. If anyone can help, please, it would be much appreciated.

    You can handle blank cells in two ways: 1. Use the "Required to Run" toggle in the Prompt Editor: • Open the Prompt Editor for your enrichment • Find the News Snippet field that contains the company news • Enable the "Required to Run" toggle for this field • This will make the enrichment skip the cell if there's no news data 2. Alternatively, use conditional snippets: • Type / to open the conditional snippet panel • Set a condition to check if the News Snippet field exists/contains data • In the "If" section, write your personalized intro using the news • Leave the "Else" section blank • This way, when there's no news, the cell will remain emptyChoose the method that best fits your workflow to prevent error messages from appearing in your email campaign.
