productPurchasedId does not work. Why?

Question

We have created an MBOX for "order confirmation":
- Order ID: is a unique value
- ProductPurchaseId: is the product in the order

When we set the goals in Adobe Target:
- We can see the number of orders. We use MBOX = OrderConfirmPage
- But we CANNOT see the number of orders per product. We use MBOX = OrderConfirmPage + Audience / Targeting "ProductPurchaseID = IDProduct"

We don't know why, but the code should be well implemented and Adobe Target always gives us 0.

Any idea?

Thanks

Hi @carlosvelarde,Second attempt, hopefully this is helpful. There are 3 ways/methods to pass a conversion mbox/location with order data in it to Target. If using at.js version 1.x you can use the first 2 methods only. If using at.js version 2.x you can use all 3 methods. I personally, prefer to use the #2 method with the trackEvent() since this request is generally only to send data to Target and is not used to get content to render to the page.Call the getOffer() method, and pass the order data as custom parameters with the reserved parameter names:orderId (unique id for the order) orderTotal (value of the order - optional)productPurchasedId (comma separated list of skus included in the order like: "sku1,sku2,sku3" - optional)Example: adobe.target.getOffer({  "mbox": "orderConfirmation",  "params": {"orderId":"ABC6789","orderTotal":123.45,"productPurchasedId":"123,234,SLKF-123"   },  "success": function(offers) {        adobe.target.applyOffer( {            "mbox": "orderConfirmation",           "offer": offers         } );  },  "error": function(status, error) {      if (console && console.log) {        console.log(status);        console.log(error);      }  }, "timeout": 5000}); Call the trackEvent() method and pass the order data as custom parameters with the reserved parameter names (same as getOffer() above).Example: adobe.target.trackEvent({mbox: 'orderConfirmation',params: {"orderId":"ABC6789","orderTotal":123.45,"productPurchasedId":"123,234,SLKF-123"}}); Call the getOffers() method (only for at.js 2.x) with the order data in the orders object. Please note that parameter names are different from the methods above.Example: adobe.target.getOffers({  request: {    execute: {      mboxes: [{          index: 0,          name: "orderConfirmation",          parameters: {            "customParam": "value"          },          order: {            "id": "ABC6789",            "total": 123.45,            "purchasedProductIds": ["123","234","SLKF-123"]          }      }]    }  }}).then(response => adobe.target.applyOffers({ response: response })).then(() => console.log("Success")).catch(error => console.log("Error", error)); Make sure your syntax is correct depending on the method you are employing. From your screen shot you appear to be using method #1 in which case you should be passing them as custom parameters with the exact names in the examples above - no leading or trailing spaces.Hope that helps!

Hi @carlosvelarde,Your implementation looks to be fine. However, the reporting it sounds like you want to do is beyond Target reports. The passing of the productPurchasedId is for 2 main purposes in Target. 1) For informing Recommendations about specific entity/products getting purchased - to enable our purchase based algorithms. 2) To provide helpful information in the order details report download. I theory, if you downloaded the order details CSV you could determine the answer you are asking: how many orders included product X. Column H of the order details CSV will have a comma separated list of the productPurchasedIds in it that you could filter off of to answer your question.Another way to answer that question would be in Analytics Workspace Analysis. If you have Analytics for Target (A4T) as your reporting source you should be able to create a report that gives you that information.
