We've come across a use case where it's important for us to track when a
visitor completes a transaction within their first session upon entry in
to an activity.My question is: What's the best way to do this?I thought
about incrementing a cookie value by 1 for each new session, and only
tracking event if cookie value is 1, but I'm not sure if there's a more
efficient way to do this.Otherwise, can I pull the SessionID from the
existing mbox cookie and use that value?Appreciate any support here.
Sure, script below:if (mbox.name == 'dashboard_header_banner') { var
signUpDate = mbox.param('registration_date'); //"yyyy-mm-dd" var day =
signUpDate.split("-")[2]; var month = signUpDate.split("-")[1]; var year
= signUpDate.split("-")[0]; var dateText = year + month + day; var date
= parseInt(dateText); return date}The 'E7' just means x10^7. It's
shorthand; the date format I've used yields a number over 20 million,
and it doesn't like having that many digits. It's still technically a
number.I ...
Hi,I've created a profile script which is taking an mbox parameter for
'Sign up date' (which is a text string: "yyyy-mm-dd"), and converting it
into a number, whose digits are YYYYMMDD. The value returned in
mboxTrace for my test account is ''2.0170713E7" (13th July 2017).My hope
is to then create an audience with criteria like "user.param IS GREATER
THAN 20170728", or any others as and when they are needed. I.e., this is
saying 'only target visitors who signed up after 28th July 2017'.After
tes...
Hi,I'm using the form based editor for an AB test, and am measuring
click through rate on plain text containing a link vs. a banner.I just
want to confirm exactly when the success metric option "Clicked on mbox"
triggers? As the link in the plain text variation only covers a small
portion of the text within the mbox, would the metric only track on
click of the link, or anywhere within the mbox?That is, would the metric
trigger if I click anywhere in the bold code in 1), or anywhere in the
bold c...
Nevermind, issue resolved.Leaving this up in case anyone encounters
something similar: the activity in question didn't work because it had
apostrophes in its name.
Hi,In the last day or so we've noticed that some of the content we're
serving through Target is no longer showing.We have an XT activity set
up and live. The preview link shows the content as expected, but despite
my meeting the audience criteria, I'm not seeing the content in a live
environment. We're also not seeing any clicks on the mbox since
yesterday, despite seeing a lot of visitors enter the
activity.Interestingly, the mbox being used is appearing in the debugger
tool, and says it is sho...
Hi Løjmann,Thanks for replying. I have tried testing this and it doesn't
appear to be working. The test only appears when I go to the login page
in the same session.Also, I tried adding the following to the test to
see if anything was being passed:var param =
user.get('Has_Seen_Login_Page') alert(param);So far this has not worked,
even in the same session and with other user parameters, such as IP:

I recently created a profile script which captures whether or not the
login page has been seen by a visitor: if(page.url.indexOf("/login") >
-1){ return "hasSeenLogin"} Checking with mboxTrace, I have seen the
user parameter working within the same session as the login page view.
However when I go back and check again a day or so later, I can no
longer see the parameter. Is there a reason that it is not remaining for
14 days as per this:

Hi, potentially very niche conversion tracking logic below:We have a
series of actions on our secure site which do not trigger a confirmation
page on a uniquely identifiable URL. Instead, the visitor is taken back
to the account overview page, and shown a 'Successful transaction' type
message (within a div).The confirmation message is the only evidence of
the conversion, and appears only when a transaction is completed on the
previous page. The div is removed from the HTML after a couple seconds...
Hi Parit,Hope everything is going well.Just wanted to let you know that
despite still seeing the same error message, I can see the full list of
parameters associated with an mbox when I look in 'Available Tokens'
under Profile scripts.I'm not 100% confident using Standard to build
campaigns instead of Classic yet, as I don't know what this error might
entail. Have you had any luck resolving the issue?Thanks,Chris
Thanks, Kimen.I see that targetPageParams() sits under at.js
documentation. Can it also be used with the mbox.js script?If not, is
the alternative mboxUpdate(), using the global mbox name?Thanks,Chris
Hi,I'm hoping to build a campaign on our marketing site that encourages
existing users to complete an action on our secure site, which exists on
a separate web domain.Both domains contain the Target tag under the same
account, so is it possible to capture a conversion metric for a test
that starts on domain A with the conversion occurring on domain B?Many
thanks,Chris
Hi, hope someone can help me with this.Our Target account is set across
multiple domains, and activities on some of these domains are entirely
separate from activity on others.We want to pass parameters in to the
global mbox only for the domains where those parameters can be put to
use. Is it therefore possible to define different global mboxes for each
of these domains? I haven't been able to find any info explicitly
stating this.That is, when adding mbox.js tag on to each domain, could I
edit ...
Hi Parit,Thanks for getting back to me on this. I've sent you a private
message with the requested details.Looking forward to hearing from
you.Thanks,CHris
Hi,We've recently moved to creating campaigns in the Target Standard UI,
where previously we have been doing everything via Target Classic.I've
come across an issue where I'm unable to create a new Audience in
Standard based on an mbox parameter. The mbox appears in the 'Search
mbox' field, but when I click the drop down for 'Search parameter', I
see the following error message:
https://www.screencast.com/t/jl8vGk1jnCKKI know that the mbox has
multiple parameters assigned, and I can access them ...
Hi,I'm hoping to run a campaign which targets specific visitor IDs
(defined as an mbox parameter), and as such I can't spoof the value for
myself.My current proposed method involves copying the campaign,
targeting it for my mbox parameter ID ONLY, and launching the activity.
If that works then the main campaign should be good to go.Is there any
way that I could check the audience targeting without having to push any
activities live?Thanks,Chris
Hi,I'm hoping to set up a profile script to create a user parameter
which tells me whether or not the user has viewed a certain set of pages
before. This must be across sessions.At the moment I have this for my
script called 'LastContentPage: if(!user.get("LastContentPage")){
if(mbox.name==="target-global-mbox" &&
page.url.includes("contentpage")){ return 'Content Page';}The script is
referring to the global mbox to grab a page URL. If that URL contains
'contentpage', then a parameter is passed ...
Hi, I'm trying to create an AB test to run on multiple pages that don't
fall in to a usable blanket URL structure. As such, the 'Configure >
URL' feature in the Visual Experience Composer won't cover all
cases.I've added the preview URL string to view my test content on
various pages, and it works across all of them with no issues.Is there a
way to target tests based on consistent in-page content instead of URL?
Many thanks,Chris
Hi,I have a metric which tracks on click of a link on page (no problems
there), but I'm not sure whether this is still triggered if I right
click and, say, open the link in a new tab.Is right clicking and opening
in a new tab tracked, or does that require separate implementation?So
far I've struggled to find an environment where I can QA metrics before
pushing experiments live - what's the best way to go about
this?Thanks,Chris
