Activity Map Actions in Data Feed Clickstream?

Avatar

Level 2

We are trying to capture Activity Map in our clickstream data feed export. If I use the "no longer used" columns (such as "click_action" or "click_action_type" etc.) I get data, but if I use the following columns I get absolutely nothing :

"clickmaplink"

"clickmaplinkbyregion"

"clickmappage"

"clickmapregion"

I found this post from 2 years ago and I am curious if there is any update to this between now and then:

Activity Map data in Clickstream Feed

thanks.

Hi Allen,

For a quick win, I would map activity map actions contextData in the custom variable (eVar/Prop) via Processing rule to be used in Data feed clickstream.

Context data variable references for Activity Map tracking are as below:

a.ActivityMap.link

a.ActivityMap.region

a.ActivityMap.page

Proc Rule Ex. Overwrite value for eVarX with a.ActivityMap.link.

Thanks,

Asheesh

Activity map is not yet available as columns in data feeds. This is the open idea on the topic: Activity Map Fields in Clickstream

Hi Allen,

In case you missed it, activity map data is available in data feeds now    look for columns that start with clickmap.

Don't use the columns that start with click_, because those are the old clickmap columns.

Asheesh,

Can you point me to where it was published that clickmapregion attributes are now available in Adobe Analytics? I ran a datafeed with

clickmaplink, clickmaplinkbyregion, clickmappage, and clickmapregion fields and didn't get any data.

Thanks,

Hey Asheeshhp,

Do you know the date that adobe pushed clickmap data into data feed? Is it retroactive?

Hi Fei,

If you collecting activity map data you should be able to get it retroactively, I would contact client care to know data collection limit and contract for your account. Also it looks got pushed last month.

Thanks,

Existing data feeds will not have activity map columns added automatically. You will need to edit the data feed settings and add the columns. From that day forward, you'll have the activity map columns.

The data should be there retroactively, at a minimum from when the columns were introduced (maybe even before that). So if you'd like to do a backfill data feed, you can include the activity map columns there.

Hi there,

I have a client who's having the issue of their clickmap* fields being empty in the data feed, despite successfully seeing Activity Map data in their Analytics reports. I've verified that the fields have been added to the data feed setup. It's an hourly data feed, and they've never seen any data in those columns. Any idea what would be causing that?
