Use Response Token inside Profile Script

Question

Hello, I would like to be able to use response token data inside a profile script.

My task is to use "activity.name" as a profile script value so that I can count the amount of time this activity was seen and apply frequency capping.

for example, if activity views are < x, display activity, otherwise don't.

return activity.name;

simply using this is not returning anything.

Response tokens are not available for profile scripts. Profile scripts run before response tokens are generated. However, to achieve your use case, one option I can think of would be including a trackEvent in your activity to trigger a second call back to Target to tell a profile script an activity view happened. For example, you could add this trackEvent to your experiences as a custom modification:

<script>
adobe.target.trackEvent({"mbox":"activityViewNotify", "params":{"activityName":"${activity.name}"}});
</script>

Then you could have the profile script look for the activityViewNotify mbox and the value of the activityName parameter to determine the count.

Note the ${activity.name} token is not a response token but has the same value. It's dynamic data in an offer as used here.
