Recommendations: Time for Entity to Update? - Adobe Target

Clients often ask how long it will take entity & criteria updates to appear on their site. I haven't had a definitive answer other than "90 minutes or tomorrow morning" What is the rule of thumb for how long it will take for an entity update to appear live, end to end, using different methods of updating entities?getOffer parameter, such as: https://mboxedge28.tt.omtrdc.net/m2/[clientcode]/mbox/json?mbox=mboxXYZ.....entity.id=1234&entity.inventory=0As an example, when entity.inventory set to 0, ...

Re: Recommendations Designs - Escaping Content - Adobe Target

That article talks about escaping reserved characters ($) in a design template (Velocity). My question was around escaping the value of the entity's output. In particular, double quotes in content cause problems when trying to generate JSON syntax or HTML attribute syntax.My solution: Without the ability escape in Velocity, I escape the content before uploading in the product feed. A good compromise for most scenarios is to html encode double quotes to " . In practice that is working well.In mos...

Re: Recommendations JSON - Adobe Target

Jon, it's great to have you here! I see that you updated the JSON documentation, which is great! I've been working with various Velocity commands & discovered that the following works (adapted from your example above):#* * "Return a simple list of recommended entity ids" *# { "notes":{ "purpose": "Return a simple list of recommended entity ids", "use-case": "Use this approach if you prefer to do a real-time lookup of entity attribute details (such as inventory, price, rating) from another system...

Recommendations Designs - Escaping Content - Adobe Target

Do Recommendations Designs support escaping of characters for formats they need to be delivered in? This seems critical to producing valid syntax in Design results. Examples: JavaScript needs escaped quotes (\" and \'): entityTitle = "HD 48\" TV & speakers"HTML attributes need HTML encoding " for double quotes etc:

Re: Recommendations JSON - Adobe Target

Jon, that is a fantastic response, thank you so much. I'm still going through it. A bunch of great info.What isn't clear to me is the second issue of my original message: how do I keep entity values with single and double quotes from breaking JSON syntax? Our product names have measurements & possessives in them, so these are not uncommon. Given that, what would keep this line in your code from breaking? "name": "$entity1.name", when it becomes something like: "name": "Samsung's 32" Television &...

Re: Recommendations JSON - Adobe Target

I don't think that addresses it. Your linked doc discussed how to pass JSON as a parameter INTO an MBOX request.The doc I linked to says that it is possible to get JSON containing recommendations results/contents OUT of Target... in the result of a mbox call. The purpose is to take the JSON content and format it into results into HTML/etc on the client side rather than having the Recommendations Design do it on the server side.Thanks for the reply & your follow up!

Recommendations JSON - Adobe Target

On the Design Overview page of the Recommendations documentation it says "Target can also return recommendations as a JSON object." It gives an example output of the JSON that can be generated. However, the topic of generating JSON is not discussed anywhere in that section. I imagine this is either accomplished in a design or an mbox parameter, but I cannot find any further discussion of the topic. How is this accomplished?A related question: the documentation says that Designs use Apache "Veloc...
