Analytics library is triggering duplicate event

[EmilBo1]

Hi all. I have an issue where the Launch is triggering a call event when refreshing the page. I want to control the way i send the events and this is causing duplicate page views. Any idea of such a setting? It seems like pageLoadAbort and controlPageLoad is not working. 

window.marketingtech = {
  adobe: {
    launch: {
      url: process.env.LAUNCH_URL,
      controlPageLoad: true,
      pageLoadAbort: true,
    },
    alloy: {
      edgeConfigId: process.env.LAUNCH_EDGE_CONFIG_ID,
    },
    target: true,
    audienceManager: true,
  },
  sophia: false,
};

Hi @EmilBo1 

not sure where the config is being used, Also, it would be helpful to understand your Launch setup better meaning

• how/where is the page view rule triggered?
• are there potential other rules that could cause the duplicate page view?

I mean you could always (if not in a SPA context) add a condition with "Max Frequency" set to 1 Page view, but this would rather be fighting the symptoms and not the root cause.

I agree with @bjoern__koth; rather than trying to "cancel" the call, I would be looking into why the rules are triggering twice.

Keep in mind, if you rule has multiple triggers (i.e. Window Loaded, History Change, etc) they can all run. To prevent that, the Max Frequency condition is a must.... if there are two different rules, that becomes harder.. you need make sure different rules aren't triggering for the same refresh... or find a way to merge the rules so that you can apply the condition we already talked about.

Regardless of using AppMeasurement.js or Alloy.js, you should be using the Satellite Debugger to understand what rules are firing.

// Turn on Debugger in your console
_satellite.setDebug(true);

// Turn off Debugger in your console
_satellite.setDebug(false);

You should be able to see if one rule is being triggered multiple times, or if there are multiple rules being triggered.
