Use Case

Removing an entire Brand AND concurrently combining Product Categories within the client’s catalog and rendering it “Out of Stock” so it won’t show up in their ads.

Example:

This past Monday, Dick’s Sporting Goods client requested you wants to remove both Nike brand due to a pending contract disputes. However, a few minutes later, client calls again to also urgently want to remove Flip Flops off their ads also due to the CDC report that shows a study correlating flip flops wearing and hair loss.

Given there’s only one Availability field to put in 1 code, we would need to combine two simple Max Rules into 1 combined rule….

We are therefore combining with what we learned in

(If you haven’t reviewed the video of Availability Max Code 1 or Availability Max Code 2, please watch those video lessons first before proceeding.

Code to solve this example is:

{{#if (any_true (icontains brand "Nike") (icontains google_product_category "flip flops")) }}out of stock{{else}}{{{'availability'}}}{{/if}}

Solution is to apply the following Max code to the Availability Field in Product Catalog:

Copy and Paste this Code

{{#if (any_true (icontains brand "FIRST BRAND NAME HERE") (icontains google_product_category "FIRST CATEGORY HERE")) }}out of stock{{else}}{{{'availability'}}}{{/if}}

Instructions to ADD Max Rule Yourself:

Copy (control C or command C) the code above
Go to Product Catalog → Map section → Availability field
Click on Edit Field (pencil icon)
Paste the code you entered
REPLACE “Enter First Brand Name Here” (placeholder) and carefully replace and write the first brand name you are trying to remove. Make sure it is between the quotes
REPLACE “Enter FIRST Category Here” (placeholder) and carefully replace and write the Product Category Name you are trying to remove. Make sure it is between the quotes

7. Note that if you want to add additional BRANDS or Additional PRODUCT CATEGORIES to remove…

For an additional Category, Need to add …
- A SPACE
- then COPY AND PASTE this code…
```
(icontains google_product_category "Enter Another Google Category Here")
```
For an additional Brand, need to add
- A SPACE
- then COPY AND PASTE this code
```
(icontains brand "Enter Another Brand Name Here")
```

9. Leave the rest of the code alone and don’t edit anything else!

10. Click APPLY

NOTES:

Input this in the Availability field
brand / google_product_category - input the field(s) that you want to match
"Nike"/"Adidas"/ "Flip Flops" input the text you want to match for each field
- Text is case insensitive so "Nike"/"nike", "Adidas"/"adidas" and "Flip Flops"/"flip flops" will be matched
- icontains does not accept lists so if you want to mark multiple brand/google_product_category/etc as out of stock a new (icontains <field> <text>) must be added for each additional brand or category

out of stock- any matching IDs will have out of stock input into the availability field. Change out of stock if you want to insert different text.
