Platform.ClientBrowser

Detect the client's browser type, version, and capabilities in email and CloudPage contexts.

Platform.ClientBrowser provides properties for detecting the subscriber’s or visitor’s browser. Most useful in email rendering contexts where HTML/CSS support varies.

Properties

Property	Type	Description
Platform.ClientBrowser.Name	string	Browser name (e.g., "IE", "Chrome", "Firefox")
Platform.ClientBrowser.Version	string	Browser version string
Platform.ClientBrowser.Browser	string	Full browser user agent string
Platform.ClientBrowser.Platform	string	OS platform (e.g., "Win32", "MacIntel")
Platform.ClientBrowser.IsAOL	boolean	Whether client is AOL
Platform.ClientBrowser.IsIE	boolean	Whether client is Internet Explorer

Examples

var browser = Platform.ClientBrowser.Name;
var version = Platform.ClientBrowser.Version;
var ua = Platform.ClientBrowser.Browser;
var platform = Platform.ClientBrowser.Platform;

// Conditional rendering based on browser
if (Platform.ClientBrowser.IsIE) {
    Write('<div class="ie-notice">Please upgrade your browser.</div>');
}

// Log browser for analytics
Platform.Function.InsertData("BrowserLog",
    ["SubscriberKey", "Browser", "Version", "Platform", "Timestamp"],
    [subscriberKey, browser, version, platform, Platform.Function.Now()]
);

Notes

In modern SFMC deployments, most users access CloudPages via current browsers. Platform.ClientBrowser detection is more commonly used in email contexts where rendering discrepancies still matter.

Browser detection is based on the User-Agent header. It can be spoofed and should not be used for security decisions.
