Error Handling

There are some risks in using dynamic content. For example, undesirable results can occur if:

  • The data is not passed as expected or is interrupted

  • Data is missing

  • A parameter name is specified incorrectly and not verified correctly in the staging process


In order to minimize this risk, Connect provides two ways to prevent these conditions from occurring:

  • Use the MS.InvalidContentMsgs System Parameter to specify a string, which, if found in the body of the message, prevents the message from being sent

  • Have the content generator return the "204 Content Not Found" response
    Note: It is not a string but an HTTP response code that is returned by the web server.

Use these measures only as a precaution to catch errors, rather than a method to identify mail recipients. All other precautions should be used to ensure that the dynamic content is created effectively.
