Are there ways to automatically deactivate a Target activity outside of setting a date and time?

I have a client who wants to automatically deactivate an A/B test once it reaches a certain amount of page views.

Is this possible?

    @egcnd  - I am afraid there's no way to achieve this outcome in an automated way. The only automated way I know of is disabling activities on specific date-time (https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/target/using/activities/activity-settings.html)

     

    A possible solution could be to use Adobe Target APIs using an automated script which runs regularly (say hourly), however that will work for visitors and not for page-views. 

    1. Run the reporting API for the specific activity (https://developers.adobetarget.com/api/#get-ab-performance-report)

    2. Get the visitors for the activity after processing the response from step 1

    3. If the visitor count from step 2 is more than your threshold then deactivate the activity using https://developers.adobetarget.com/api/#update-ab-activity 

     

    Let me know if you need any more information. All the best!
