Global mbox Frequently Asked Questions
List of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about global mboxes.
Can I have more than one global mbox if my Target account is set across multiple domains?
Only one global mbox is supported across your account.
You can limit where your activities run by adding URL rules to your activities. For more information, see Include the Same Experience on Similar Pages.
You could also pass a parameter on the page using targetPageParams and then select those parameters in the “configure URL” section in the Visual Experience Composer (VEC) or by adding the parameters as “refinements” in the Form-Based Experience Composer.
How do I pass revenue data on a Target global mbox?
To collect revenue and order information on the target-global-mbox, “mbox parameters” must be sent to Target. These parameters are name/value pairs used to send more information to Target. Target automatically looks for these parameters (reserved names) to populate revenue data.
For the orderConfirmPage, you should pass in orderTotal, orderId, and productPurchasedId.
These parameters must be sent to the target-global-mbox via targetPageParams(). For more information, see Passing Parameters to a Global mbox.
