accordion Prerequisites to use contextual events in your conditions When users display your content, a personalization request is sent along with the experience event. To leverage contextual data in your conditions, you must attach additional data to the personalization request payload. To do this, you need to create a rule in Adobe Experience Platform Data Collection to specify: IF a personalization request is sent, THEN attach extra data to the request, defining the attribute to match with the language field in your schema.
note note NOTE These prerequisites are required for the In-app and Content cards channels only. -
