Way To Tell If Catch Works or not

Questions and Help
1

Hi TB Community,

Is there a way to create a variable that is dependent on "if catch works or not"

For example- I am wanting to easily distinguish if a property is OFF market or not - typically the snippet will read from a certain website- when it is ON Market -- so a dead giveaway for the property being OFF market is if Catch doesn't work / an address had to be copy or pasted into the text field

Thank you

Hi, is this the kind of snippet you are looking for? Basically, property status will equal the CSS selected by the web selector if it works and the property is on the market, but if the selector does not work, the catch will set property status to "OFF Market". This snippet has placeholders for the website, but you should be able to customize it to fit your needs

{formtext: name=Address}

{property_status=catch({website: https://example.com/search?address={=Address}}, "OFF Market")}

Property Status: {=property_status}

Yes I think this should work :slight_smile:

I didn't realize you could put designate something else if catch doesn't work

Thank you
