By : Prachi Jain & Luc Forgeron Introduction Have you noticed your “Unique Visitor” counts increasing in your Analysis Workspace reports? Are you confident in the accuracy of your visitor identification reporting to personalize-at-scale? To set your mind at ease, Adobe, a leader in the digital marketing and customer experience domain, offers a powerful data collection tool known as the First Party Device ID (FPID), which empowers organizations to create stronger relationships with their customers. In this article, we will delve into the concept of Adobe's FPID and explore its benefits, applications, and best practices for effective visitor identification integration.  Understanding Adobe's First Party Device ID  The Adobe Experience Platform Web SDK assigns Adobe Experience Cloud IDs (ECIDs) to website visitors through the use of cookies, in order to track user behavior. The FPID can be used as a unique identifier to seed the ECID cookie, allowing businesses to colle

One of our clients recently did a big import of JSON-formatted values into a Textarea field. The result in Velocity, after the usual #evaluate trick to rehydrate JSON, is equivalent to this: #set( $stringKeyedObject = { "0": "apples", "100": "oranges", "2": "pears" } )   (The data is structured like that for an important reason I’ll explore in a near-future post.)   Here’s the thing: the system that exported this data uses NodeJS. In JS, creating an object literal like let o = { "0": "apples", "100": "oranges", "2": "pears" };   and looping over the keys with Object.entries(o).forEach( ([key,value]) => console.log(key,value) )   uses a specific, standards-defined order. Because the keys are all numeric strings (the term is array indexes in the ES standard), the entries are sorted as numbers, not in insertion order: 0 apples 2 pears 100 oranges   This differs starkly from Velocity. In Velocity, for an

How to clear dispatcher cache in aem ? by ANUJ GANGWAR Abstract How to clear dispatcher cache in aem ? As you may know, the Dispatcher cache in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) is used to improve the performance of your website by caching static resources and pages. However, sometimes you may need to clear the cache to ensure that the latest content and changes are displayed on your website. In this blog post, we'll show you how to clear the Dispatcher cache in AEM. This method will clear the entire Dispatcher cache, including all cached pages and resources. Keep in mind that clearing the cache may affect the performance of your website, as it may take some time to rebuild the cache. Clear Cache using the Dispatcher Flush Agent You can use the Dispatcher Flush Agent. Follow these steps: Log in to your AEM instance and navigate to http://localhost:4502/etc/replication/agents.author.html. Click on the "Dispatcher Flush" agent to open the agent's configuration page. Click on the "Test

Hi,when reuse of an existing component is not possible, the next best thing is to create a new composite component through assembly of existing components. However, when trying to do so, I seem to get into trouble when it comes to the content policy for this composite component (in the context of Editable Templates).Suppose I were to create a composite component that nests a Text and an Image component. I could create a design dialog for this component, but obviously, the resulting content policy will have no effect on the content policy of the nested Text and/or Image components. So I was wondering if there is any way to accomplish this, e.g. by delegating the nested components to the content policy of the parent component.I was also wondering if other AEM developers have faced this issue..I did some digging myself and learned the following:I found out that the "contentPolicyDelegatePath" request attribute seems force a component to use the content policy of another resource. However,

Hello, AEM community.We have a requirement to download the dam user-generated collection. As part of it, we read all collection items into an array and iterate through them using the code below. It sometimes works, but for huge files or files longer than 4-5 files, there is a problem with the last or first file. if (!!collectionPath) { const collectionItemsArr = collectionPath.split(';'); // Split paths by ';' console.log("collectionItemsArr::",collectionItemsArr); if (collectionItemsArr.length > 0) { const filename = collectionTitle; let url = collectionItemsArr[0] + ".assetdownload.zip/" + encodeURIComponent(filename); const promises = []; if (collectionItemsArr.length > 1) { for (let i = 0; i < collectionItemsArr.length; i++) { collectionItemsArr[i] = collectionItemsArr[i]; } url = addParameter(url, "path", collectionItemsArr); } url = addParameter(url, "_charset_", "utf-8")

If you're a marketer who uses both Marketo and Salesforce, chances are you've had to deal with syncing issues between the two systems. In today's blog post, we'll take a deep dive into the Marketo and Salesforce Sync, specifically discussing the Sync Person to SFDC flow step and the different outcomes when using it.   Let's review the expected behavior for the different use cases you might encounter when designing your sync to Salesforce using smart campaign flow step in Marketo.   Scenario #1: Syncing a Marketo Record Not In Salesforce The first scenario is when a Marketo record is not in Salesforce. In this case, you would use the Sync Person to SFDC flow step with the auto assignment rules, which creates a new lead record in Salesforce.     Scenario #2: Syncing an Existing Lead in Salesforce If the record syncing is a Salesforce Lead and you use the sync with auto assignment rules, the existing lead record will be updated. Essentially, this is like a forced sync

Hi All,   I am facing a similar issue mentioned in the below link. I have tried the solution mentioned but had no luck.

Introduction This is the second of two blog posts about customer engagement and customer experience metrics on global web properties at 3M.  In the first entry (A Novel Approach to a Web Engagement Metric), I provided an overview of a 3M.com Engagement Index which is a composite measurement of six dimensions of visitor engagement.  In this post, I will share some surprising insight about the relationship between engagement and customer experience metrics. Measuring Customer Experience We have been gathering customer experience feedback using surveys on 3M.com for more than two decades.  I was even featured in a Fast Company article about this way back in the year 2000 (Fast Company: Here’s Our Site – Are You Satisfied?).  The form and function of our visitor survey has changed many times, but the fundamental concepts have been consistent.  This customer experience data is a nice compliment to the rich behavioral data in Adobe Analytics.   We trigger feedba

Hi champs,I have a general question about the prop's pathing abilities and whether props are actually still necessary in 2024 anymore.So, in the past, I would set a prop over an eVar if I needed pathing and see whatever values had been set in a sequence and eVars did not support it.Today, Analysis Workspace supports pathing on both Flow and Next or previous Item visualizations which makes me wonder, for what reason I am actually using props anymore (especially since I can set my evar to expire after the Hit). Ok, maybe for list support, but honestly, the 100 character limitation on prop values make them barely usable anyway.Maybe I am missing something, but curious to hear your answers.Björn 

I have recently been through the process of migrating our Adobe Analytics implementation to Web SDK.  My intention is to write a series of blog posts detailing what my thought process was, how we got it done, and the things you need to be aware of when you take this on.  In other words, I've made the mistakes so hopefully you don't have to! Why move to Web SDK? Before we get on to any elephants, I wanted to take a moment to explain why I think you should migrate to using Web SDK for your Adobe Analytics data collection. Support for First Party Device ID This was our number one reason for moving.  On certain browsers the lifetime of an Adobe Analytics cookie is limited to seven days.  The impact of this is that you lose track of users, making your analytics data less accurate and reducing your ability to personalise experiences. Using a First Party ID (which is only an option when using Web SDK) you can remove this limitation! I hope to cover First Party Device IDs i
