Online/Offline Web/Mobile Personalization Blueprint

Synchronize web personalization with email and other known and anonymous channel personalization.

Use Cases

Landing page optimization
Behavioral and offline profile targeting
Personalization based on prior product/content views, product/content affinity, environmental attributes, third-party audience data, and demographics in addition to offline insights such as transactions, loyalty and CRM data, and modeled insights

Applications

Real-time Customer Data Platform
Adobe Target
Adobe Audience Manager (optional): Adds third-party audience data, co-op based device graph, the ability to surface Platform segments in Adobe Analytics, and the ability to surface Adobe Analytics segments in Platform
Adobe Analytics (optional): Adds the ability to build segments based on historical behavioral data and fine grained segmentation from Adobe Analytics data

Architecture

Guardrails

Segments shared from Experience Platform to Audience Manager are shared within minutes of segment realization - whether via the streaming or batch evaluation method. There is an initial segment configuration sync between Experience Platform and Audience Manager of approximately 4 hours for the Experience Platform segment memberships to begin to be realized in Audience Manager profiles. Once in the Audience Manager profiles, the Experience Platform segment memberships are available for same page personalization through Adobe Target.
Note that for segment realizations that occur within the 4 hour segment configuration sync between Experience Platform and Audience Manager, these segment realizations will be realized into Audience Manager on the subsequent batch segment job as “existing” segments.
Batch segment sharing from Experience Platform – once per day or manually initiated via API. Once these segment memberships are realized they are shared to Audience Manager within minutes and available for same/next page personalization in Target.
Streaming segmentation is realized within approximately 5 minutes. Once these segment realizations occur they are shared to Audience Manager within minutes and available for same/next page personalization in Target.
By default the segment sharing service allows a maximum of 75 audiences to be shared for each Adobe Analytics report suite. If the customer has an Audience Manager license, there is no limit on the number of audiences that can be shared between Adobe Analytics and Adobe Target or Audience Manager and Adobe Target.

Implementation Patterns

The Web/Mobile personalization blueprint can be implemented via the following approaches as outlined below.

Using the Platform Web SDK or Platform Mobile SDK and Edge Network.
Using traditional application-specific SDKs (for example, AppMeasurement.js)

Implementation Prerequisites

Application/Service	Required Library	Notes
Adobe Target	Platform Web SDK*, at.js 0.9.1+, or mbox.js 61+	at.js is preferred as mbox.js is no longer being developed.
Adobe Audience Manager (Optional)	Platform Web SDK* or dil.js 5.0+
Adobe Analytics (Optional)	Platform Web SDK* or AppMeasurement.js 1.6.4+	Adobe Analytics tracking must use Regional Data Collection (RDC).
Experience Cloud ID service	Platform Web SDK* or VisitorAPI.js 2.0+	(Recommended) Use Experience Platform Launch to deploy the ID service to ensure that the ID is set before any application calls
Experience Platform Mobile SDK (Optional)	4.11 or higher for iOS and Android™
Experience Platform Web SDK	1.0, current Experience Platform SDK version has various use cases not yet supported for the Experience Cloud applications
