Content Strategy Using Content Fragments in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) What are content fragments? In Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), Content Fragments lets you design, create, curate, and publish page-independent content. They allow you to prepare content ready for use in multiple locations/over multiple channels. They are designed to be API-accessible ideal for headless delivery. Content fragments are based on Content Fragment Model’s, which predefines a structure for the resulting content. Content Fragments are a Sites feature but are stored as Assets. How are they created and Managed? Within AEM UI, Content Fragments can be created/managed from below two consoles: Assets console Content Fragment Console (AEM Cloud only feature) Assets Console                A content fragment can be created and managed via assets console by navigating to the Assets folder where you want to store the fragment. You can c

Over the last three weeks, we have looked at CJA Golden Nuggets, Tips & Tricks, and Best Practices.  Today we will look at integrating CJA with other data and tools that can unlock new insights for your organization.  Here we’ll look primarily at bringing data into CJA.  We’ll touch only briefly at ways to get data out of CJA. Overview One of CJA’s benefits is the ability to analyze online and offline customer engagement holistically.  Having a clear understanding of CJA’s datasets, requirements, and how to integrate the data is important to ensure the data is useful in addressing key business questions. Use cases There are almost a limitless number of use cases where data can be integrated with CJA.  Today we’ll focus on three typical use cases.  Customer service interactions – For many companies, the ability to better understand the full customer journey is essential.  Being able to see person-focused web and customer service interaction seamles

Today, we are going to talk about a method of onboarding data into RTCDP which is discussed a lot and helps stream data into Adobe Experience Platform from pretty much any third party. We are going to cover the HTTP API streaming source. So let’s get started. Source Navigate to the Sources in the Experience Platform UI.   Above, you would see ‘Set up’ the first time you try setting it up. Since, I’ve set up an account at my end, it shows up as Add Data. Once you’ve created the account, you move on to Adding data. The screen looks something like below:   Go ahead and click on Add data.   Select your dataset, you would like to stream data to. Review and finish.     Next step is where most of the end users get confused. How to test whether the end point is working fine for them or not.   Testing Using Postman Next step is to get the streaming endpoint details to stream test data to. Select your dataflow from the list of dataflows for the account. Scroll t

In June 2024, Adobe deprecated Marketo Measure fields on the SFDC Lead/Contact objects. This means that new downloads of the Marketo Measure install package in Salesforce will no longer insert custom Lead/Contact fields, and the integration automation will no longer copy data from Measure Touchpoints to Lead/Contact fields. Why was the change implemented in Marketo Measure?Performance, cost, and market timing. This change is expected to reduce customers’ Salesforce API costs by 10%. Furthermore, these extract, transform, and load (ETL) jobs cause the highest number of errors in the Measure integration. However, the market timing is favorable for this change. More and more teams are integrating custom objects into their RevOps data models, and familiarity with referencing custom objects is increasing. As system architecture complexity increases, analytics and campaign teams are better equipped to reference source data on custom objects. How to adjust to this change?Your t

In today’s tech byte post we will discuss how to update a specific attribute of a profile using the upsert feature of Adobe Experience Platform.  Let’s understand the meaning of “Upsert” in Adobe Experience platform context. Typically, when you ingest a record into the Platform with just a specific attribute, it updates that attribute but sets the other attributes to null. Upsert, however, allows you to update only the desired attribute while keeping the remaining fields unchanged.   A good example is when one wants to update only city, state and zip code request works fine, but overwrites any other existing attributes to NULL  The upsert feature enables the ability to update the selected attribute for a profile, here’s how you would enable it and get started    Let’s have a look at how we would do this via API    1. Disable dataset for profile   2.Enable for Upserts & Profile The request body includes a path to unifiedProfile setting the value t

Smart Lists are a key functionality within Adobe Marketo Engage, and a strong knowledge of how Smart Lists work is key to being able to take your Adobe Marketo Engage usage to the next level. Smart Lists allow you to create combinations of filters in order to find lists of people within your database who meet the filter criteria. Smart Lists can be used within programs, or you can have standalone Smart Lists in the Database section of Adobe Marketo Engage. Are you wondering how to get started with Smart Lists? In this blog, we’ll go into detail on all of the different aspects of Smart Lists, and at the end we’ll have a quiz to test your knowledge!Filters. The most important part of your Smart List will always be your filters. Filters will be dragged over from the right side of the screen within the Smart List tab of your Smart List, and there are myriad filter options:   Within the Activity History folder, you will find various filters based on different activities that people ca

First, I'm not the Workfront Admin for my company, but I am the only one using Workfront's Request form for our company's global sales team, so it seems this is my issue to solve. We recently were forced by Adobe to upgrade to the Admin Console & a Federated ID using our company SSO. Prior to this I could send a link to my request form out to any person in the company and they could submit a project.  Now when they try, they all get the following:I've found a way to get around the error (well so far it only works for a few people) but it's not easy. This request tool is being sent to roughly 700 people across the globe and I can't have a complicated work around just to allow them access to what's already a border line complicated request form. Is there an easy fix for this?

  Introduction Adobe Customer Journey Analytics (CJA) is built on three types of datasets to gather actionable insights into your customers' journeys. These dataset types, Event, Lookup, and Profile, each play a unique role in capturing and presenting different aspects of customer data. Event datasets are structured to record detailed interactions at specific points in time, covering every key action that a customer takes on your platforms. In contrast, Lookup datasets serve as reference points, offering metadata context to the recorded event values. Profile datasets, however, concentrate on the individuals behind those actions, combining the data into customer attribute metadata. Each dataset type serves a unique purpose and provides specific data points critical to understanding customer interactions. This blog post offers an overview of these three CJA dataset types. It highlights their key characteristics and potential applications, helping you understand their functionaliti

Authors: Jaemi Bremner (#Jaemi_Bremner), Sunil Kumar A K, and Sachin Yelchithaya (#Sachin_Yelchith). In this blog, we are explaining different approaches on how we can build a dataset in Adobe Experience Platform to perform cross-device analysis using Customer Journey Analytics which was incepted from multiple customer requests. Statistics from various sources depict the usage of multiple devices across digital domains. This makes it interesting to get some insight into specific patterns of consumer behavior across devices. While mobile usage is on the constant rise, tablets and desktops continue to mark their presence as well. Generally, around twenty percent of cross-device transactions completed on a desktop start on a smartphone, and 35% of those completed on a smartphone begin on a desktop. Ignoring to measure the cross-device performance, this alone could lead to poor decisions based on weak or insufficient data. A study says globally, 31.6 billion connected devices are exp

Hello everyone! Welcome to our first thread on 'Tuesday's Tech Bytes'. This thread focuses on 'Tips & tricks in Adobe Web/Mobile SDK Migration'.   Considering we already know about what Adobe Web/Mobile SDK is, let’s not spend time reviewing anything over here. For more information related to Web/Mobile SDK, kindly go through the Implement Adobe Experience Cloud with Web SDK tutorial from Adobe Experience League. Also, for these posts, rather than reading through the paragraphs, let’s ask and answer questions in phases for a more directed understanding.   What’s the licensing cost? All Experience Cloud customers can use Platform Web/Mobile SDK. It is not a requirement to license a Platform-based application like Real-Time Customer Data Platform or Journey Optimizer to use Web/Mobile SDK. So, the important stopper is already out of our equation.   How do we convince our business for this migration? Platform Web/Mobile SDK can solve multiple problem areas in data colle

Hello everyone! Welcome to our second thread on ‘Tuesday's Tech Bytes’. This thread focuses on 'Tips & Tricks in Adobe Web/Mobile SDK Migration' and is the second part associated with the topic. Please head over here to read the first.   Without further ado, let's pick up where we left off last week.   Once Datastream is configured what would be the immediate next step? The immediate next step is to configure the 'Data Collection Tags' for data collection; however, the configuration steps are somewhat different from the legacy one.   What are the extensions required to implement/migrate Platform Web/Mobile SDK? It is important to note that the extensions for Web and Mobile are not the same, and hence the tag configuration for this implementation/migration differs. The below extensions are exclusive from the default extensions like Core for Web and Mobile Core & Profile for Mobile. Extensions for Web: Adobe Experience Platform Web SDK (Mandatory) Common Web SDK P

Hello, everyone! Nice to have you back for another exciting edition of 'Tuesday's Tech Bytes'. Having wrapped up our discussion on 'Tips & Tricks in Adobe Web/Mobile SDK Migration' last week, we're all set to delve into our next topic: 'Best Practices for Adobe Web/Mobile SDK Migration’. If you missed our previous threads on the first theme, be sure to catch up right here (Part 1 & Part 2).   Without further ado, let's jump right into our new theme!   In the realm of best practices, it's important to acknowledge that everyone brings their unique experiences to the table. Nevertheless, in this discussion, I'll strive to address critical aspects of migration related to the following items: Comprehensive change management strategy Utilizing a holistic approach to migration Prioritizing data security and compliance Initiating with thorough documentation Conducting sufficient and robust testing Evaluating and optimizing your dataLayer Grasping XDM & JSON proficiency L

In the ever-evolving landscape of data analytics, the agility to adapt and present information clearly and securely is not just an advantage—it's a necessity. As we strive to craft more impactful dashboards, particularly in the critical area of Adobe Real-Time CDP, leveraging the capabilities of database views with in Data Distiller has emerged as a transformative approach. Here's how creating views in your insights data model can offer unparalleled benefits:Simplified Data AccessCrafting a user-friendly experience starts with the complexities of our data models. By creating views, we distill complex relationships into accessible insights. This abstraction layer means that dashboard users can focus on the insights, not the intricacies of SQL joins or table schemas.Tailored Data PerspectivesDifferent stakeholders require different data slices to inform their decisions. Views serve as a bespoke lens, offering customized snapshots of data tailored to the needs of various roles within the

After multiple deadline extensions since Google announced it in 2020 for the first time, Google finally disabled third-party cookies for 1 % of randomly chosen Chrome users globally in Jan. 2024.  Google will completely phase out third-party cookies in Chrome browser by the end of 2024. So, it is more relevant than ever to talk about event forwarding. Why should we implement server-side tagging?Before we dive into event forwarding, let’s take a step back to think about why we should use server-side tagging. There are three key benefits of server-side tagging though there might also be other benefits.Data Security & ComplianceWhen you implement a tracking pixel (client-side tagging), you cannot control what data it collects on your website. It will collect the IP address of the end user for sure. Still, it is also possible to collect other sensitive personal information such as email address, first name, last name, or mailing address. However, you can decide what data to s
