    @jim_mctiernan thanks for taking the time to answer questions today! This question was originally posted by Target Community user @praveshn5700477 in this original thread :

     

    "if we are showing the products in 3 different recommendation (eg: recommended for you, based on your last purchase, etc) to the logged-in user (A) on the homepage/landing page on m web, and if the same user logs in to the app, Target should be able to identify the user as user (A)  and the user should see the same products is recommended for you, based on your last purchase, etc as he saw on m web. how this can be achieved?"

    You will need to use mbox3rdpartyid with the Target request and pass a consistent customer id value for the user with each Target call across the different channels to achieve this use case. Using the same id value, Target will then access the known user’s profile and provide consistent recommendations across different channels.  Please see: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/target/using/audiences/visitor-profiles/3rd-party-id.html?lang=en

      @Jim_McTiernan thanks for taking the time to answer questions today! This question was originally posted by Target Community user @christammm in this original thread:

       

      "My A/B Test activity has recently finished it's desired testing duration. I'm using Target Reporting as the reporting source. Before the activity was launched, I added some extra audiences for reporting such as "New Visitors" , "Returning Visitors", and two custom audiences: 'Mobile Visitors', and 'Desktop Visitors'.

       

       

      The issue that I'm currently facing is now I want to see combined visitors who qualified as both ("New Visitor" or "Returning Visitor") AND "Mobile Visitor". Vice versa for "Desktop Visitors".

       

      However I'm concerned about the fact that my activity has already finished running, and that adding new audiences to the activity could potentially not display any new data that fits the criteria for the combined audiences that I want.

       

      Given that there are visitors who qualified for my existing audiences, and the activity has finished, If I were to create new audiences (e.g. - New Mobile Visitors, Returning Mobile Visitors, New Desktop Visitors, Returning Desktop Visitors) based off of those audiences, can I expect data to appear in Target Reports?"

        This use case is a major benefit of using the Analytics for Target (A4T) integration. If Adobe Analytics is selected as your test Activity Reporting Source, then any new metrics and segments can be applied to test reporting retroactively after the test has run. If Target reporting is used, you will need to predefine all the success metrics you wish to use as you set-up the test.

             @Jim_McTiernan Hello Jim, Have a question around Recommendations - we have around 370K products. Around 1K products go out-of-stock and around 4K products are taken out from the website and some are added back. Both the data are from different DataSources. We are updating in feed under 2 entities to exclude them from the Recommendation algorithm. The feed is updated every Monday and Thursday, it takes around 8 hours to process and exclusions to reflect. However, we want the product exclusions to take effect immediately or max within 1 hr else the product in recommendation carousel may take them to 404 page or product that customers can't order (due to out-of-stock). CC team confirmed that time taken for the feed upload doesn't depend on the feed file size but the server queue, so reducing the size of the feed also will not work here. Is there any other way to have products getting excluded faster?

            they are in thousands to manually exclude.
