After setting up an account and receiving credentials, pass them to your administrator who can configure Personalization service in your Ibexa DXP instance.
Now, you can start collecting data and boost your business.
How does Personalization work¶
Personalization with tracking scripts, monitors individual sessions from user’s behavior and interest data through events (clicks, viewed articles, pages, purchases) and demographic data (location, industry, occupation).
Next, collects data and computes models thanks to complex algorithms.
Personalization is SiteAcces-aware, it means it can serve on multiple sites with different customer IDs and deliver recommendations for each site (for example, if you host multi language site).
Use Twig extension to add a tracking script and implement it into your site configuration.
