Web: displaying and testing a banner to a segmented audience

Prerequisites

To work with on-site personalization, first, they need to be set by the Meiro team:

1. Activation of the endpoint in the Meiro Events (ME) system should be implemented in order to collect events.

2. Meiro Events API connection must be set in the Administration/Configurations/Settings tab. 

3. Channels/Web tabs must be enabled by the administrator for your user role.

4. For native banners, it is required to place a DOM element with a unique ID in the HTML code of the website where the banner will be displayed.


To use segments with banners, there are additional requirements:

1. The relevant segment must be created in the Segments tab.

2. The Meiro User ID attribute must be added to WBS - Please contact the Meiro team to set this up.

1. Select condition: “Segment”

2. Select the segment you wish to display a banner to.

3. Select “Identifier stitching category.” This section displays a list of identity stitching categories enabled within the Audience API. This means that when requests include these enabled categories in their URL parameters, the Audience API identifies and handles them appropriately.

Usually, it is “1PT Meiro Web ID”.

1.4. Select the operator “is in segment / is not in segment”.

1.5. Select “Identifier location” (cookie / local storage) and insert a “key”.

Those values are 1PT Meiro Web IDs tracked from the client website where Meiro SDK is deployed.

Usually, it is a cookie, key:  meiro_user_id, meiroEventsUserId

A key can be found in the Developers tools -> Application -> Cookie/ Local storage -> Key.

Warning: Setup for identifier stitching category/ location and key can be custom to your use case, therefore, please contact the Meiro team.

2. How to test a banner for a segmented audience

To test whether the banner displays correctly to the segmented audience, it is necessary to set the meiro_id of the customer belonging to the segment.


Warning: We strongly advise using only the fresh anonymous windows for testing different cookies!
