Browser Integration

JavaScript Based Integration

With Browser Integration, you can insert the unique tracker, as a custom Javascript file, anywhere within the HTML pages in your website for all the various events. As a first step we need to include UnbxdAnalytics.js script to the head of all the HTML pages, where we want the track functionality to work. You can add it using the below code to you HTML:

<script type="text/javascript">
  var UnbxdSiteName = "{{site-key}}"; // Replace the value with the Site Key.
  var UnbxdApiKey = "{{api-key}}"; // Replace the value with API key
  (function() {
    var ubx = document.createElement('script');
    ubx.type = 'text/javascript';
    ubx.async = true;
    ubx.src = '//libraries.unbxdapi.com/ua-js/v1.0.0/uaLibrary.js';
    (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(ubx);
  })();
</script>

NOTE: UnbxdSiteName should be initialized with the correct site key for the environment of your account in Unbxd.

Visitor

This event is used to track shoppers and make their user profiles using browser cookies. To enable this event we just need to add Unbxd’s analytics JS library (as done above) inside the head section of all pages of the site.

NOTE: The visitor event will be fired from the SDK itself. If you have integrated the Unbxd analytics JS code, this event is tracked and pushed automatically, with no further action required.

The Visitor event is the first event that gets created when a shopper visits your site. There are two types of shoppers we track:

First-time shoppers
Repeat shoppers

Experience Impression

A recommendation(experience) impression event is fired when a recommendation widget results loads on Home, Product, Category, Cart or Brand page. For each of these actions, unique Ids of the products visible on the recommendation widget on any above page should be sent as payload.

<script type="text/javascript">
	var payload = {
             requestId: '{{unbxd-request-id}}',
		pids_list: '{{list-of-products-uniqueId}}',
		experience_pagetype: '{{recs-pagetype}}',
		experience_widget: '{{recs-widget}}'
	}
	var action = 'experience_impression'
	if(Unbxd && typeof Unbxd.track === 'function') {
		Unbxd.track(action, payload)
	} else {
		console.error('unbxdAnalytics.js is not loaded!')
	}
</script>

Payload details:

Attribute NameDatatypeWhat Value to be Passed
requestIdstringTo be extracted from Unbxd search API response headers, from unx-request-id
pids_liststringList of unique IDs of products loaded with the current request. If zero products are returned, pass an empty list (array).
experience_pagetypestringPagetype for widget. Possible values: Home, Product, Category, Cart, Brand based on the type of page on which the widget is used.
experience_widgetstringWidget type. Possible values: WIDGET1, WIDGET2, or WIDGET3.

Product Click

The click event should be tracked whenever a user clicks on any product to go to the product details page. It should have the information about the source of the product listing which will a recommendation widget in this case.

<script type="text/javascript">
	var payload = {
		pid: '{{unique-id}}',
		prank: '{{number-of-product}}',
		experience_pagetype: '{{recs-pagetype}}',
		experience_widget: '{{recs-widget}}',
		requestId: '{{unbxd-request-id}}'
	}
	if(Unbxd && typeof Unbxd.track === 'function') {
		Unbxd.track('click', payload)
	} else {
		console.error('unbxdAnalytics.js is not loaded!')
	}
</script>

experience_pagetypestringPagetype for widget. Possible values: Home, Product, Category, Cart, Brand based on the type of page on which the widget is used.
experience_widgetstringWidget type. Possible values: WIDGET1, WIDGET2, or WIDGET3.

Product View

Product Page View indicates the total number of visits that has been made to the product details page (PDP) by the visitor irrespective of the source (search result page, category page, search engine, email, marketing campaigns, etc).The product view can be tracked whenever a user lands on the PDP page.

<script type="text/javascript">
var payload = { pid: '{{uniqueId-of-the-product}}', variantId: '{{variantId-of-selected-variant}}' } if(Unbxd && typeof Unbxd.track === 'function') { Unbxd.track('product_view', payload) } else { console.error('unbxdAnalytics.js is not loaded!') } </script>

variantIdstringVariant ID of the selected product variant. Extract if relevantDocumentType = "variant"; otherwise, can be null. (Only applicable if variants are present in the feed)

Add to Cart

Whenever a user adds any product to cart or shopping bag, the add to cart will get fired. This helps us further improve the products appearing in the Recommendation widget.

    pid: '{{uniqueId-of-the-product}}',
    variantId: '{{variantId-of-selected-variant}}',
    qty: '{{quantity-selected}}',

When a user completes the transaction and lands on the order confirmation/success page, the order event should be tracked for each individual product. There are 2 ways to trigger the order event and either of them can be used:

  1. Individually for all even
<script type="text/javascript">

    Unbxd.trackMultiple('order', payload)
  } else {
    console.error('unbxdAnalytics.js is not loaded!')
  }
</script>

HTML Based Integration

With Browser Integration, you can insert the unique tracker, as a custom Javascript file, anywhere within the HTML pages in your website for all the various events. As a first step we need to include UnbxdAnalytics.js script to the head of all the HTML pages, where we want the track functionality to work. You can add it using the below code to your HTML:

Sample Request:

<script type="text/javascript">
  var UnbxdSiteName = "{{site-key}}"; // Replace the value with the Site Key.
  var UnbxdApiKey = "{{api-key}}"; // Replace the value with API key
  (function() {
    var ubx = document.createElement('script');
    ubx.type = 'text/javascript';
    ubx.async = true;
    ubx.src = '//libraries.unbxdapi.com/ua-js/v1.0.0/uaLibrary.js';
    (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(ubx);
  })();
</script>

Also, add the script below before Unbxd analytics library is loaded.

<script type="text/javascript">
UnbxdAnalyticsConf=window.UnbxdAnalyticsConf ||{};
UnbxdAnalyticsConf["experience_pagetype"]="{{recs-pagetype}}";
UnbxdAnalyticsConf["experience_widget"]="{{recs-widget}}";
</script>

Experience Impressions

The impressions events should be tracked whenever a new set of products on any recommendation widget is loaded. It should have the information about the source of the page and widget where results are being loaded.

Action

The action depends on what type of request was made to fetch the list of products. It takes different values based on different events.

  • For Recommendations v2 – experience_impressions
  • To track a recommendations widget impression, insert the following HTML tag on the respective pages on your site.
<div unbxdAttr="product"  unbxdparam_sku="{{uniqueId-of-product}}"></div>

Also, add the script below before Unbxd analytics library is loaded.

<script type="text/javascript">
UnbxdAnalyticsConf=window.UnbxdAnalyticsConf ||{};
UnbxdAnalyticsConf["experience_pagetype"]="{{recs-pagetype}}";
UnbxdAnalyticsConf["experience_widget"]="{{recs-widget}}";

experience_widgetvariableWidget type. Should be one of: WIDGET1, WIDGET2, or WIDGET3.

Product Click

The Product Click event is generated every time a shopper clicks on a product in a Product Listing Page (PLP) or in a recommendation widget. This helps us understand your shoppers’ search preferences. This information is analyzed to list and promote ‘Popular Products’ in the autosuggest dropdown and display personalized ‘Recommended For You’ recommendations.

To display products within the PLP on the search results or category page, insert the following code snippet within <div> of product grid (product thumbnail) or within the <li> html tag.

Sample code snippet with <li> tags

<li unbxdattr="product" unbxdparam_sku="{{uniqueId-of-product}}" unbxdparam_prank="{{rank-of-product}}" unbxdparam_requestId="{{window.requestId}}"> </li>

Sample code snippet within <div> tags

<div unbxdattr="product" unbxdparam_sku="{{uniqueId-of-product}}" unbxdparam_prank="{{rank-of-product}}" unbxdparam_requestId="{{window.requestId}}" />
