I'm a convert from Google Analytics (Universal and GA4). In GA, there are base reports that show things such as Sessions, User, Revenue, Acquisition, Engagement et al. Are there any pre-made reports that I can install? What's the best practice for setting up reporting and tracking in Adobe Analytics similar to the out of the box reporting I see in GA?

Hey @jpfiber, Welcome to the wide world of Adobe Analytics! A4T, which is the Analytics for Target integration, has a pre-built template for pulling in and analyzing Target data within Analytics. The interface is a very user friendly, drag and drop to include any of the Analytics metrics you choose into your reports. If there are specific report settings you want to re-use over and over you can always create a Workspace template and re-use it to your hearts content. There is a great primer on A4T here to get you started: https://express.adobe.com/page/Lo3Spm4oBOvwF/

@ryanr7 @adobe-gentry @ryan_pizzuto @mihnead I'm curious if y'all have any more information about the Adobe Target activity alerts feature? Do we have any timing for release? Will this feature live within Target or somewhere else across the Experience Platform or Cloud?

Thanks!!

ryan_pizzuto

Adobe Employee

hey @benmu6 there are a few existing notification options that you can set on a user-by-user basis. When in Target there is the bell icon in top right area of the page where you can see the alerts and notifications. When in that dialog box there is a gear icon that takes you to a page to set preferences for notifications via in-app or email by solution. You may be referring to another un-released alert system and we're reaching out to our product team to see if there is a status update.

Thank you!

Yes, more curious about any future potential, maybe to set up notifications to send to individuals when say an activity is activated or deactivated, winner detected, etc.

@ryan_pizzuto @ryanr7 @adobe-gentry - is there a way for end users on the site pages to check which workspace activity has rendered? at_property shows up in the payload, however, is there a way to determine the Target Workspace name either somewhere in Developer tool or in AEP Debugger? Thanks

R

ryanr7

Adobe Employee

@nishank-1,

The debugger doesn't provide a mapping of at_property to a Target workspace. As you mentioned you can see the at_property value but you'd have to keep your own mapping/list of at_property to see the workspace.

N

nishank-1

Thanks, Ryan. at_property shows up in the Developer tool network call, however, how do we get to know the Workspace name since a single at_property can be tied to multiple workspaces?

Hey Ryan - nice chatting with you again!!! Our team launched Target with 100% exclusively loading activities with Prefetch. I have some use cases to adjust and load via Execute. I expect most of our activities to use execute going forward. What should I be looking for/aware of as we move to the execute mode (as the team is comfortable using prefetch)? Also can you provide any additional documentation on when to use prefetch vs. execute as I don't plan to use prefetch very often (if at all)?

John Joaquim

John!

Using Page Load Execute might actually simplify things a bit because you won't need to use multiple or subsequent getOffer calls to render things. If you're using TriggerView that fires as the page is loading then you might alter how/when you apply changes to the experience in the VEC. In short, going from prefetch to execute on page load could simplify things. Here is the basics of how things work: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/target-dev/developer/client-side/at-js-implementation/at-js/how-atjs-works.html?lang=en

If you have any follow-ups, the folks here are happy to jump in!

Great to hear from you!

Is this a video chat or just a bunch of posts in a thread that area going to get lost?

Hi @jpfiber ! Thanks so much for posting your questions here in the chat! To answer your last one: there is indeed no video, however the objective of these Coffee Chats is to ensure that your Questions receive Expert answers. From here, we use these rich conversational exchanges to get a pulse on which features are resonating the most with our customers toward creating more helpful content.

Unfortunately that wasn't how I perceived this event. A simple more proactive monitoring of the posts in the community and answering is more efficient. I planned an hour thinking this was some sort of real time "coffee chats" type of thing. I know Adobe can do better.

This is useless.. Chatting via posts is a poor experience when trying to have conversations and I don't need my email box blowing up.

This should just be a zoom meting to have a discussion. 😞

Hi all,

We are new to Target and currently are struggling with how to publish images we uploaded for our first Target activity.

Can you please advise?

Thank you,

Hello Marie,
Happy you joined the Target family!

Couple of ways to use your images:

Publish the image from your Content management system and only add a <img/> code in your activity with the source attribute being the published url for that image
Upload your image in the Target image offers UI and then leverage the "Replace Content/Image" option in your activity

Hi @ericthibeault-cie-account ,

Publish the image from your Content management system and only add a <img/> code in your activity with the source attribute being the published url for that image - does this work for the original image or the 'alternative images' in the activity? I understand it the way that I upload the original image to Assets > Files > on the stage/prod environment and publish it there. But I don't have the publish option when uploading to Image offers UI or Target assets

Upload your image in the Target image offers UI and then leverage the "Replace Content/Image" option in your activity - we tried that and there was no option for publishing the images.

I am trying to push mbox parameter for page load requests as per below doc but I am unable to

see them in Network tab of the developer console. Any suggestions on why this is happening?

Hi @jyotisharmav ! Can you provide a bit more information? I'm assuming you built the library for the development environment you're using? And the rule event is "library loaded (top)"?

JyotiSharmaV

Yes @adobe-gentry, @adobe-gentry this is how I added parameters to my page load in target calls. And, Yes I am testing this at the development and staging environment.

the params are added as below

it is supposed to appear like below example screenshot but my pageName variable is not coming up in the Network call. What could be the reason?
