Handlebars QueryFirst is the current Marketing Cloud Next-native solution for retrieving a single matching record dynamically from a marketing object. Salesforce introduced this helper in the Summer '26 Marketing Cloud Next release. The function can query CRM objects, marketing objects, or Data Graphs and return the first record matching defined criteria.
For this scenario, the marketing object contains multiple localized promo codes. The email needs only the promo code whose region matches the recipient's Region_Code. QueryFirst can specify the marketing object, desired promo-code field, and a where condition using the recipient's region as a parameter. The returned object can then be referenced directly in Handlebars personalization.
AMPscript is associated primarily with Marketing Cloud Engagement and isn't the preferred Marketing Cloud Next content-personalization language for this use case. Standard cross-object merge-field notation also doesn't dynamically query an unrelated marketing-object record based on arbitrary matching criteria.
The uploaded bank correctly keys B. Salesforce's developer documentation explicitly states that QueryFirst retrieves the first matching record from marketing objects, Sales Cloud, or Data Graphs.
