WeChat mini program tracking support for AEP?

Hello,

 

We are currently using the Adobe WeChat SDK for tracking our Mini Program and doing reporting in AA. The business users are planning to deploy AEP/AJO/CJA and so we are working on the migration options. 

 

The recommendations from Adobe is to keep using the existing SDK for WeChat and keep AA as the data route to send data to AEP, while web sites and mobile apps can use the latest AEP Web/Mobile SDK to send data directly to AEP. This “hybrid” architecture seems very complicated and not easy to maintain, so would like to see if anyone have solution to this migration scenario?

 

Cheers,

Tony

While I am not personally familiar with the WeChat SDK, I did a quick research on it, and it looks like it’s using the older App ACP SDK functionality (i.e. trackState and trackAction events).

 

My biggest concern here is that the ACP SDK is old and mostly sunset. Adobe has been pushing people to upgrade to the newer AEP SDK (which uses sendEvent and Data Streams).

 

I don’t know if this might mean that the WeChat SDK might stop working at some point, or not… It’s interesting that Adobe is recommending staying with this SDK, but it probably means that it won’t stop any time soon (and they don’t yet have the resources to update the WeChat SDK at this time).

 

However, I also don’t have AEP/AJO/CJA, so I don’t know how complex mapping to those tools will be… 

 

Is the WeChat architecture so different that it requires a special SDK? Or could you use the standard AEP SDK?

    Our team is also working on similar initiative, basically the first phase is to migrate from Adobe Analytics to Customer Journey Analytics, but the WeChat SDK can send data to AA only, we are trying to use the Adobe Analytics Data Source Connector to ingest data from Report Suite to AEP Dataset.

     

    Found the following blog post and it seems there is a third party SDK that may help,

      OK, that is what I was afraid of.. when I saw “trackState” and “trackAction” I thought it might only go to AA…  and porting it over sounds painful, but sometimes you do what you have to do….

      For the existing Adobe WeChat SDK, the trackState and trackAction calls only send data to AA.

       

      In the latest AEP Mobile SDK, trackState and trackAction can be used as well to send data to Edge Network by using the Edge Bridge extension.

       

      That 3rd party SDK for WeChat seems can support sending data to AEP Edge by either sendEvent or trackState/Action for backward compatibility.
