Web SDK improvements for link tracking

Several notable improvements are available in the latest version of the Web SDK around link tracking, which directly benefits Activity Map. These new features are available in both the Web SDK JavaScript library and the Web SDK tag extension.

  • Event grouping: When a visitor clicks an internal link, you can choose to group event data on the next page instead of triggering a separate event call for link tracking. This improvement reduces the number of events that the Web SDK uses against your contractual limit.
  • Filter click properties: A new callback that replaces OnBeforeLinkClickSend. You can use this callback to filter or obfuscate link-related data before sending it to Adobe.

See clickCollection in the Web SDK user guide for more information.

Description
13-month expiration of saved cust_visids
May 22, 2024
An upcoming release of the Analytics Hit processing engine, targeted for July 2024, will start enforcing a 13-month expiration of saved cust_visids. If the report suite has “Enable Visitor Stitching” enabled, this setting is used for finding the cust_visid for a visid_high/visid_low value with no cust_visid on the hit. Currently, there is no expiration of the mapping of a cust_visid for a visid_high/visid_low. With this release, if 13 months or more have passed since visid_high/visid_low has had a cust_visid on a hit, the mapping expires.

EOL for Adobe Analytics API (version 1.4)
July 17, 2024

On August 12, 2026, the following Analytics Legacy API services will reach their end-of-life and will be shut down, and current integrations built using these services will stop working:

  • Adobe Analytics API (version 1.4)
  • Adobe Analytics WSSE Authentication

Integrations that use the Adobe Analytics API (version 1.4) must migrate to the Adobe Analytics 2.0 API, while WSSE integrations must migrate to an OAuth-based authentication protocol in the Adobe Developer Console.

See the Adobe Analytics 1.4 API EOL FAQ for answers to common questions and further guidance.

Migration to Adobe I/O OAuth Server-to-Server credentials
May 11, 2023

Adobe Analytics API and Livestream customers using Adobe I/O JWT credentials must migrate to Adobe I/O OAuth Server-to-Server credentials by January 1, 2025. Adobe I/O will not allow new JWT credentials to be created beginning May 1, 2024. Customers using JWT must create a new OAuth Server-to-Server credential or migrate their existing JWT credential to an OAuth Server-to-Server credential. Customers must also update their client applications to use the new OAuth Server-to-Server credentials.
