Hi Klaviyo community,

I'm hoping someone can help with what seems like a simple issue. I'm setting up a new abandoned cart flow for a new product, but the product title isn't populating correctly in the email.

For context, this is the product page I'm working with so you can see what I'm referring to:
https://modhello.com/merge-fellas/

The problem is with the merge tag `{{ item.product.title }}`.

In my email template, I have a line that says: "You left your {{ item.product.title }} behind!"

But in the test emails, it either shows up blank like "You left your behind!" or it breaks the subject line. The product name in my Shopify store is "Merge Fellas Unlimited Shake".

I've already checked the following:
- The product is synced correctly from Shopify.
- The feed is active.
- The same merge tag works for other, shorter product names.

My question is: Does Klaviyo have a known issue with longer product names or specific words in the title that might cause the merge tag to fail? Is there a character limit I'm missing?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. This is holding up our launch.

Thanks!

Hi ​@himekawoa 

Welcome to the community! Hoping I can help you here.

How exactly are you testing the the email send? Are you typing in an email address into Preview and Send? Which metric / event are you testing against? I would assume Started Checkout, but I want to be sure.

Have you tried previewing the email within the platform using a profile that you know have started the checkout with the “Merge Fellas Unlimited Shake” in their cart?

If you were to go to Analytics → Metrics → Started Checkout and view recent activity, do you see the examples of the “Merge Fellas Unlimited Shake” item title populated?

Lots of questions there! Let me know and I’ll see if I can help more.

Thanks,

Ross

 


Hi ​@himekawoa,

Have you figured this out yet? I can confirm that longer product titles should still populate correctly in emails as long as the correct syntax is used. Would you be able to share a screenshot of the preview of the email when you’re previewing using an event where somebody purchased/started checkout with that item? That will help us determine what the issue may be.
