How do I implement Marketing Cloud Visitor ID Service?

[taciac · Accepted solution]

Before implementing Adobe Marketing Cloud ID Service, walk through the step-by-step guide here http://adobemcidplan.businesscatalyst.com/. This guide will walk you through the steps that need to be completed prior to implementing the ID Service. One the pre-requisites have been completed, instructions for implementing are available in the Product Documentation here https://marketing.adobe.com/resources/help/en_US/mcvid/.

Do you have an example on how to validate if an mcid exist? We have this issue where the mcid being returned is empty. Was wondering if there is a standard way to check if its empty or not before loading or calling the function.

var mcID = _satellite.getVisitorId().getMarketingCloudVisitorID();
var url = 'https://www.example.com/?pubref=' + mcID '&siteid=1111';

When a user clicks the book now button, it will use the url to redirect the user with the mcid. when we check our analytics report, some has mcid and some doesnt have.
