Enable abandoned browse features
Talk to your Customer Success representative to enable the abandoned browse feature. It might require custom JavaScript and dynamic personalisation to be enabled on your account.
Using last browsed variables
When you create a segment that contains a WebInsight data block, variables appear that are related to last browsed. The variables are:
Variable * | Type | Example |
product_name (✔️) | Text | "Nitro Fate Women's Hybrid Camber Snowboard 147cm 2018" |
product_sku (✔️) | Text | "NITRO-203492" |
product_price (✔️) | Text | "290.99" |
product_url (✔️) | Text | |
product_image_path (✔️) | Text | |
product_specialPrice | Text | "259.99" |
product_status | Text | "In stock" |
product_categories | Text | "New Styles, Sale, Snowboards" |
product_description | Text | "..." |
product_currency | Text | "GBP" |
product_brand | Text | "Nitro" |
* ✔️ - The variable is required because it's used to power the default content in the Last browsed product block.
Set up the script
The script below extends the web behavior tracking code by including the last browsed product variables described above. Here’s an example:
<script>/* -------------------------------------------------------IMPORTANT!The codebelow requires a developer to install and setup.Please do not simply copy/paste this onto your website. ----------------------------------------------------------- */// Initiate Web Behaviour Tracking (this section MUST come prior any other dmPt calls)(function(w,d,u,t,o,c){w['dmtrackingobjectname']=o;c=d.createElement(t);c.async=1;c.src=u;t=d.getElementsByTagName (t)[0];t.parentNode.insertBefore(c,t);w[o]=w[o]||function(){(w[o].q=w[o].q||[]).push(arguments);};})(window, document, '//static.trackedweb.net/js/_dmptv4.js', 'script', 'dmPt');// Replace DM-000000000-00 with your web behaviour profile's Unique ID// Replace test.com with the domain of your storewindow.dmPt('create', 'DM-000000000-00', 'test.com');// Setup the last browsed productvar viewed_product = { product_name: "Name of Product", product_url: "https://test.com/productname", product_image_path: "https://test.com/images/product.png", product_description: "The description of the product", product_sku: "ABC123", product_price: "99.99", product_status: "In stock", product_currency: "GBP", product_specialPrice: "89.99", product_categories: "Category1, Category 2,Category 3", product_brand: "Brandname" };// Initiate the tracking script, pass the product objectwindow.dmPt('track', viewed_product); // Replace test@test.com with the email address of the identified contactwindow.dmPt("identify", "test@test.com");</script>Script requirements
Your script requires the following edits so it works correctly:
Set the web behavior tracking profile ID and the domain to be tracked.
Complete the variables in the viewed_product object by using your ecommerce store.
Complete the identification event by using the ecommerce platform with the email address of the identified contact.
This is a simplified script version. The script configuration might also include abandoned cart and guest abandoned cart.
