You can configure ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Analytics to integrate Campaign and Analytics.

This integration allows ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign and ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Analytics to interact through the Web Analytics connectors add-on. This integration sends indicators and attributes of email campaigns delivered by ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign to ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Analytics.

NOTE
As a Managed Cloud Services user, contact ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ to connect Campaign with ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Experience Cloud services and solutions. The Web Analytics connector add-on must be installed on your environment, through the dedicated package.

Using ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Analytics Connector, ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign has a way of measuring internet audience (Web Analytics). The Web analytics tools enable ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign to forward indicators and campaign attributes to Analytics.

The action perimeter of each tool is as follows:

  • ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Analytics marks the email campaigns launched with ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign

  • ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign sends the indicators and campaign attributes to the connector, which in turn forwards them to the Web analytics tool

CAUTION
ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Analytics Connector is not compatible with Transactional messaging (Message Center).

To set up Campaign-Analytics connection, you must perform the following operations:

  1. Create your Report suite in ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Analytics
  2. Configure your Conversion variables and Success events
  3. Configure your external account in ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign

When your report suite is configured, you will need to configure the External accounts in ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign.

Configure your Campaign external account external-account-ac

You now need to configure your Web Analytics external account in ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign to enable the sync between the two solutions.

Note that if one of your Report suite, Conversion variables or Success events is not visible when configuring your external account, this means that you are missing a permission for this newly created component in the Product profile associated to the user.

For more information on this, refer to the Product profiles for ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Analytics page.

  1. Browse to the Administration > Platform > External accounts folder of the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign explorer tree and click New.

  2. Use the drop-down list to select the Web Analytics type and ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Analytics from the Integration drop-down.

  3. Click Configure next to the Integration drop-down.

  4. From the Configure Analytics integration window, map your external account with your previously created Report suite providing the following information:

    • E-Mail
    • IMS Org
    • Analytics Company
    • Report Suite

  5. From the eVars category, map the two Conversion variables configured in ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Analytics.

    note note
    NOTE
    The Campaign ID and Broadload ID fields are collected via JavaScript on the landing page or through processing rules. Learn more on processing rules

  6. From the Events category, map the ten Success events configured in ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Analytics.

  7. Click Submit when done. ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign will create a Data source, Calculated metrics, Remarketing segments and Classifications in the mapped Analytics Report Suite.

    Once this sync between ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Analytics and ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign is done, you can close the window.

  8. Settings can be viewed from the Data Settings tab from the Configure Analytics integration window.

    Using the Sync button, ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign will sync the name changes done in ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Analytics. If the component is deleted in ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Analytics, the component will be strikethrough in ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign or displayed with a not found message.

    note note
    NOTE
    You cannot add or remove segments in this version of Campaign v8.

  9. From your External account, click the Enrich the formula… link to change the URL calculation formula to specify the Web analytics tool integration information (campaign IDs) and the domains of the sites whose activity must be tracked.

  10. Specify the domain name(s) of the sites.

  11. Click Next and make sure the domain names have been saved.

  12. If necessary, you can overload the calculation formula. To do this, check the box and edit the formula directly in the window.

    note important
    IMPORTANT
    This configuration mode is reserved for expert users: any error in this formula may result in stopped email deliveries.

  13. The Advanced tab lets you configure or modify more technical settings.

    • Lifespan: lets you specify the delay (in days) after which the web events recovered in ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign by technical workflows. Default: 180 days.
    • Persistence: lets you the period during which all web events (a purchase for example) can be attributed to a re-marketing campaign, Default: 7 days.
NOTE
If you are using several audience measuring tools, you can select Other in the Partners drop-down list when creating the external account. You may only reference one external account in the delivery properties: you will therefore need to adapt the formula of tracked URLs by adding the parameters expected by the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ and all other measuring tools used.

Technical workflow of web analytics processes technical-workflows-of-web-analytics-processes

Data exchange between ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign and ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Analytics is handled by a technical workflow which runs as a background task.

This workflow is available from Campaign Explorer tree, under the Administration > Production > Technical workflows > Web analytics process folder.

The Sending of indicators and campaign attributes workflow lets you send email campaign indicators via ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign to the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Experience Cloud using ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Analytics Connector. This workflow is triggered at 4am every day and it can take 24 hours for the data to be sent to Analytics.

Please note that this workflow should not be restarted or else it will resend all the prior data which can skew Analytics results.

The indicators involved are:

  • Messages to deliver (@toDeliver)
  • Processed (@processed)
  • Success (@success)
  • Total count of opens (@totalRecipientOpen)
  • Recipients who have opened (@recipientOpen)
  • Total number of recipients who clicked (@totalRecipientClick)
  • People who clicked (@personClick)
  • Number of distinct clicks (@recipientClick)
  • Opt-Out (@optOut)
  • Errors (@error)
NOTE
Data sent is the delta based on the last snapshot which may lead to negative value in the metric data.

The attributes sent are as follows:

  • Internal name (@internalName)
  • Label (@label)
  • Label (operation/@label): only if the Campaign package is installed
  • Nature (operation/@nature): only if the Campaign package is installed
  • Tag 1 (webAnalytics/@tag1)
  • Tag 2 (webAnalytics/@tag2)
  • Tag 3 (webAnalytics/@tag3)
  • Contact date (scheduling/@contactDate)

Track deliveries tracking-deliveries-in-adobe-campaign

In order for the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Experience Cloud to be able to track activity on the sites once the delivery is sent by ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign, you need to reference the matching connector in the delivery properties. To do this, apply the following steps:

  1. Open the delivery of the campaign to be tracked.

  2. Open the delivery properties.

  3. Go to the Web Analytics tab and select the previously created external account. Refer to Configure your external account in ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign.

  4. You can now send your delivery and access your report for it in ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Analytics.

Create a re-marketing campaign create-a-re-marketing-campaign

To prepare your re-marketing campaign, simply create delivery templates to be used for re-marketing type campaigns. Then configure your re-marketing campaign and link it to a segment. Each segment must have a different re-marketing campaign.

Re-marketing campaigns are started automatically once ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign has finished recovering the segments analyzing the behavior of people targeted by the initial campaign. In case of cart abandonment or product viewing without a purchase, a delivery is sent to the concerned recipients in order for their site browsing to finalize their purchase.

ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign provides personalized delivery templates which you can use or database yourselves on to prepare campaigns.

  1. From the Explorer, go to the Resources > Templates > Delivery templates folder of the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign tree.
  2. Duplicate the Email delivery (re-marketing) template or the re-marketing template examples offered by ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign.
  3. Personalize the template to suit your needs and save it.
  4. Create a new campaign and select the Re-marketing campaign template from the drop-down list.
  5. Click the °ä´Ç²Ô´Ú¾±²µ³Ü°ù±ð… link to specify the segment and delivery template linked to the campaign.
  6. Select the Analytics external account, and the concerned segment.
  7. Select the delivery template to be used for this re-marketing campaign, then click Finish to close the window.
  8. Click OK to close the campaign window.

The Re-marketing efficiency report is accessed via the global reports page. It lets you view the number of contacts converted (i.e. having purchased something) in relation to the number of cart abandonments following the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign re-marketing campaign. The conversion rate is calculated per week, month or since the start of synchronization between ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign and ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Analytics.
