Dynamic blocks
Create rich, interactive content that is driven by logic from price rules and customer segments. Existing dynamic blocks can be added directly to the Page Builder stage. For a detailed, step-by-step example for using dynamic blocks, see Tutorial 2: Blocks.
Step 1: Create a dynamic block
-
On the Admin sidebar, go to Content > Elements > Dynamic Blocks.
-
In the upper-right corner, click Add Dynamic Block.
-
If applicable, set Store View to a specific store view where the dynamic block is to appear.
-
To activate the dynamic block, set Enable Dynamic Block to
Yes. -
For internal reference, enter a descriptive Dynamic Block Name.
-
Set Dynamic Block Type to the area of the page where you want the dynamic block to appear and click Done.
-
In the Customer Segment list, select the checkbox of each segment that you want to see the dynamic block and click Done to save the setting.
note note NOTE - If no Segment is created, the dynamic block is visible to everyone.
- If the customer does not belong to any segments and the dynamic block is created for all segments, the contents of the dynamic block is still displayed.
- If all customer segments assigned to a Dynamic Block are deleted, its contents are then visible to everyone.
Use Real-Time CDP audiences in dynamic blocks
If you installed and configured the Audience Activation extension, you see a section called Audiences.
In the Real-Time CDP Audience list, select the checkbox of each audience that you want to see the dynamic block and click Done to save the setting.
Step 2: Complete the content
Use the Page Builder workspace to complete the content.
Step 3: Choose a related promotion
-
Scroll down and expand
-
Click the type of promotion that you want to associate with the dynamic block:
-
Add Cart Price Rules (see Cart Price Rules)
-
Add Catalog Price Rules (see Catalog Price Rules)
note note NOTE Catalog price rules are not supported for Real-Time CDP audiences. -
-
In the list of available rules, select the checkbox of each rule that you want to use and click Add Selected.
-
When the dynamic block is complete, click Save.
Step 4: Add the dynamic block to a page
-
Open the page where you want the dynamic block to appear.

Use the Add Dynamic Block content type to add the dynamic block to the stage.
