Pass an event property to dynamically choose which product feed to show in custom HTML email?

Question

We have a viewed collection event we want to use to trigger a Collection Abandonment type email, where we encourage shoppers to come back and see more from the collection. We have dozens of collections.

We want to be able to use a product feed to show them more from the collections, but we don’t want an individual collection abandonment flow for each collection.

I know we can use custom HTML to pull the feeds.FEED_NAME_HERE to gather products. My question is, could we pass in and use an event variable in a flow that then allows us to do feeds.{{ event.extra.collectionname }}, such that if we pass in the collection name in the same syntax as the feed names, we could dynamically determine which feed we want to pull in the email?

Is this possible?

Hi ​@amoncrief,Performing this kind of a lookup would need to be within a static feed - it would not be adding a dynamic variable to the feed name like you have requested. Being able to use a django variable in the feed name itself wouldn’t currently be an option.~Chloe

Hey ​@mateomoreno,In this situation, your best bet would be to include multiple product feeds in your template, and to implement show/hide logic to show each feed to people who viewed it’s corresponding collection. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to add just one dynamic product feed into a template that changes based on the event data in the viewed collection event.
