Personalization via Offer Decisioning
Overview overview
The Edge Network Server API can deliver personalized experiences managed in Offer Decisioning to the web channel.
Offer Decisioning supports a non-visual interface to create, activate, and deliver your activities and personalization experiences.
Prerequisites prerequisites
Personalization via Offer Decisioning requires that you have access to Adobe Journey Optimizer before you configure your integration.
Configure your datastream configure-your-datastream
Before you can use the Server API in conjunction with Offer Decisioning, you must enable Adobe Experience Platform personalization on your datastream configuration, and enable the Offer Decisioning option.
See the guide on adding services to a datastream, for detailed information on how to enable Offer Decisioning.
Audience creation audience-creation
Offer Decisioning relies on the Adobe Experience Platform Segmentation Service for audience creation. You can find the documentation for the Segmentation Service here.
Defining decision scopes creating-decision-scopes
The Offer Decision Engine uses Adobe Experience Platform data and Real-Time Customer profiles, along with the Offer Library, to deliver offers to the right customers and channels at the right time.
To learn more about the Offer Decisioning Engine, see the dedicated documentation.
After configuring your datastream, you must define the decision scopes to be used in your personalization campaign.
Decision scopes are the Base64-encoded JSON strings containing the activity and placement IDs that you want the Offer Decisioning Service to use when proposing offers.

After you have created your offers and collections, you need to define a decision scope.
Copy the Base64-encoded decision scope. You will use it in the query object of the Server API request.

If the visitor qualifies for a personalization activity based on data sent to Offer Decisioning, the relevant activity content will be found under the handle object, where the type is personalization:decisions.
Other content will be returned under the handle object as well. Other content types are not relevant to Offer Decisioning personalization. If the visitor qualifies for multiple activities, they will be contained in an array.
The table below explains the key elements of that portion of the response.
