Adobe Target

Adobe Target appears to interpret ${} as Target variable/token syntax, which conflicts with JavaScript ES6 template literals.For example:let x = 'Testing var';console.log(`Value: ${x}`); Instead of printing:Value: Testing varthe content inside ${} gets removed or replaced during Target processing, resulting in unexpected behavior.As a workaround, developers must use string concatenation:console.log('Value: ' + x); It would be helpful if Adobe Target could either:Support JavaScript template literals without preprocessing ${} expressions. Provide an escape mechanism for JavaScript template literals. Document this limitation and the recommended workaround in the official documentation.This would prevent conflicts between Adobe Target token replacement and standard JavaScript syntax, making custom code easier to write and debug.

I’ve been running SEO and backlink experiments for DentPrime using different platforms within the Adobe ecosystem — including public project pages, shared assets, PDF links, portfolios, and other Adobe-hosted content.The issue is that none of the backlinks I created through Adobe applications appear in:SEMrush Google Search ConsoleEven after waiting for indexing and checking crawlability, these links still don’t show up.This raises several technical SEO questions:Are Adobe-generated backlinks automatically tagged as nofollow, ugc, or otherwise ignored? Does Adobe block crawler access through robots.txt or JavaScript rendering? Could these links exist in a way that Google can crawl but chooses not to report? Are SEO tools like SEMrush unable to detect links inside Adobe-hosted environments? Do Adobe apps create temporary, sandboxed, or non-indexable URLs? Has anyone successfully tracked backlinks from Adobe Express, Behance, Adobe Portfolio, Acrobat shared documents, or similar services

With Claude or Cursor, is anyone using any MCPs that are helping either with code, workflow or analytics within work being done in Adobe Target?

I am trying to implement Experience Targeting using Adobe Target.Requirement:If a user visits a specific page (for example: /services-assessment-workshop), then when the same user later lands on the homepage, I want to display a different CTA button with a different URL redirection.Example scenario: User visits:https://example.com/services-assessment-workshop Later the same user visits the homepage On the homepage I want to: Replace the default CTA Show a different CTA Redirect the CTA to another URL Questions: What is the best way to implement this in Adobe Target? Should this be implemented using Experience Targeting (XT) or Profile Scripts? Is it possible to use previous page URL / user behavior as the targeting condition? Would this require storing the visited page in a profile attribute or cookie? Any guidance or recommended approach would be helpful.Thanks!

Hey Target practitioners, One thing that keeps coming up when I talk to teams across the industry: staying on top of Adobe release notes is genuinely hard. Not because the documentation isn't there — it is — but because carving out time to check it regularly just doesn't happen when day-to-day work takes over. I built DXP Intel to solve exactly that. It monitors release notes across Adobe Experience Cloud solutions weekly, summarises what's new, and surfaces it in one place. You subscribe to the products you care about - Target, AEP, CJA, whatever's relevant to you — and only get an email when there's actually something new. No noise, no digest of nothing. Check it out → dxpintel.com Happy to hear any feedback - this is early days and I'm actively improving it.

by Christopher Davis and Kevin ScallyWhen reporting on Target activities, there are often times when a report’s content does not align with expectations. Sometimes this is simply because something isn’t as intuitive as it seems, other times it may occur because there is some troubleshooting to be done. This post compiles some of the “greatest hits” of FAQs & Troubleshooting on Activity Reporting with Target as the reporting source. Check out Part 2 and Part 3, where we cover these same ideas for when you are using A4T as your reporting source (Part 2) and also for when you are using a third-party analytics tool as your reporting source (Part 3)!Understanding Your Success Metrics  Target reporting's most common reporting issues center around visitor or success metric counting. When using Target reporting, it is important to understand the success metric you have selected. A full breakdown of success metrics can be found here, but at a high-level, Target can track the

Hello all! Thanks for taking time to read this first article in the series of Adobe Target Technical Tuesdays. Together with my colleague , we will focus on answering common challenges Adobe Target practitioners face and sharing some ways to make the most out of this powerful tool.   Why Frequency Capping as a topic for this article? First, let me explain why I selected the subject for today's blog. As part of our role as community advisors, we consistently strive to assist fellow members of the Adobe Target community in addressing their queries and concerns on this platform. One particular question, in various forms, has cropped up repeatedly: "How can I ensure that an experience is displayed a limited number of times?" Recognizing the significance of this query, I decided to craft a comprehensive response that encompasses both the technical and business aspects of the solution. Our aim is to provide valuable insights to our colleagues, empowering them to enhance customer experi

Over the past few months, we’ve asked you - the Adobe Target community - to share your best optimization tips, hacks, and insights. And wow, you delivered! We received some fantastic submissions from practitioners around the world, sharing creative ways to get the most out of Target.   After reviewing all contributions, we’re thrilled to announce our first-ever Adobe Target Community Rockstar:   🎸 John Simmons (@perpetua_digital)  🎉   John's submission stood out for its creativity, clarity, and real-world value - showing how Target can go beyond traditional personalization.   By connecting Adobe Target with Adobe Analytics via API, their approach to have activities dynamically displays insights such as “15 people also bought this product” directly within Target offers. A brilliant example of cross-solution thinking that showcases the true power of the broader Adobe Experience Cloud!   As part of the recognition, John will also rec

I’ve noticed quite a few threads and questions in Experience League around Adobe Target Recommendations recently - and it’s no surprise, because it can be tricky to wrap your head around how everything fits together.  Some of the recurring pain points I see are: Feed vs. implementation How Recs are collecting behavioural data and how it is used Balancing business rules with algorithm performance Making recommendations actually relevant for users (not just technically correct) So let’s open it up: Ask Me Anything (AMA) about Recommendations. What’s the toughest challenge you’ve had with Target Recommendations? Or, if you’ve cracked the code, what’s the one trick that made the biggest difference? I’ll share my perspective and best practices along the way — but I’d also love to hear how you are approaching it. The best insights comes from our combined experiences!

Fatigue rule is implemented in 3 steps:Create profile script which evaluates the fatigue limits and keeps track of fatigued activity list.Fire an event from Activity/experience to increment view count and also pass the limits.Create activity specific audience to exclude user if the activity is part of fatigued activity list. 1. Profile script:    if (mbox.name == 'experience-experience_interaction') { var listOfFatiguedActivities = user.get('FatiguedActivityList') || ''; var activityName = mbox.param('activityName_FatigueRule'); if (!activityName) { return listOfFatiguedActivities; } var viewsPerActivityKeyName = activityName + 'numberOfViewsFatigueRule'; // if its an interactiion with your experience then increase the profile-script value by 1 var numberOfViewsFatigueRule = parseInt(user.getLocal(viewsPerActivityKeyName)) || 0; var maxViewsForFatigueRule = parseInt(mbox.param('maxViews_FatigueRule') || 10); // retrieve parameters from mbox

In my experience, the hardest part of experimentation often isn’t the tool itself – Adobe Target is powerful and flexible – but the context it lives in. For some organizations, the blocker is the data foundation: experiments become guesswork if the right data streams aren’t stitched together, or if audiences aren’t well-defined. For others, it’s the organization: running tests is easy, but aligning teams, stakeholders, and processes around experimentation can be painfully slow. I’ve seen companies where the bottleneck wasn’t in setting up a Target activity, but in getting approval to launch it.   👉 I’m curious: what’s the toughest challenge you’re facing right now when it comes to running experiments in Adobe Target?   Is it data (getting the right foundation in place)? Is it organizational (building trust and speed in decision-making)? Or is it something entirely different?   Would love to hear how you’re tackling it — and maybe we can all steal a few id

How to Deliver Personalized Experiences Without Compromising Site Security Delivering personalized digital experiences while keeping your site secure? It’s not a pipedream anymore. This guide shows how to make Adobe Target and Content Security Policy (CSP) work together—so marketers can personalize freely, and developers can sleep soundly. What Is CSP? Think of Content Security Policy (CSP) as your site’s gatekeeper. It defines a set of rules that tells browsers which sources of content such as scripts, styles, images are safe to load and blocks anything suspicious. CSP is your knight in shining armor against cross-site scripting attacks. For Marketers: Why You Should Care A strict CSP, if not configured for Adobe Target, can disrupt your personalization efforts. Problems may include: Failed rendering of personalized experiences Broken reporting and Analytics Unexpected errors in the Visual Experience Composer (VEC) The fix? Collaborate with your development team to configure CS

      In the previous article, we examined the detrimental effects of marketing fatigue on customer experience and its subsequent impact on business objectives. Marketing fatigue occurs when customers are overwhelmed by excessive marketing messages, leading to disengagement, irritation, and ultimately, a negative perception of the brand. To address this issue, we explored the concept of frequency capping as a solution. Frequency capping involves setting limits on the number of times a particular marketing message is shown to an individual within a specific time frame. Furthermore, we discussed the implementation of frequency capping on a single device using Adobe Target's profile-scripts functionality. In today's ever-changing digital landscape, customers are increasingly connected across multiple devices, from smartphones and tablets to laptops and smartwatches. According a survey by Statista - the average number of devices per person in 2023 was 3.6. These

Problem StatementAdobe Target provides a robust platform for personalization and experimentation at scale. However, as an out-of-the-box (OOTB) Software Development Kit (SDK) is not available for certain platforms, introduces integration challenges. To meet business objectives without compromising on user experience or personalization capability, organizations must adopt alternative integration strategies that bridge this technical gap.This technical post presents a technical approach to overcoming this limitation by leveraging Adobe APIs. It outlines a practical integration strategy for enabling Adobe Target capabilities within unsupported application environments—ensuring continuity in personalization efforts without native SDK support. 1. Fetching Personalized OfferIn environments where native SDK support for Adobe Target is unavailable, organizations can still deliver personalized experiences through API-based integration methods. These approaches enable applications to intera
