Video: Create a segment of visitors who wait 6 seconds

This video only applies to customers using the Predictive Engagement tracking snippet. If you are a Genesys Cloud CX customer using web messaging, you must use the Messenger snippet.

Create a timeOnPage6Secs event tag

In your preferred code editor, develop and validate a timeOnPage6Secs event tag. For more information, see Adobe Launch instructions.

Predictive Engagement tracking snippet

If you deployed the Predictive Engagement tracking snippet, use the following example to create a timeOnPage6Secs event tag.

<script>
  ac('record', 'timeOnPage6Secs');
</script>

In the example:

• ac('record') is the function name
• timeOnPage6Secs is your event tag

For more information about the available Journey JavaScript methods you can use to create event tags, see the Journey JavaScript SDK.

Messenger snippet

If you are a Genesys Cloud CX customer and you deployed the Messenger snippet, use the following example to create a timeOnPage6Secs event tag.

<script>
  Genesys("command", "Journey.record", { eventName: "timeOnPage6Secs"});
</script>

In the example:

• Journey.record is the function name
• timeOnPage6Secs is your event tag

Deploy the event tag

Deploy your event tag using your preferred tag manager:

• Adobe Launch
• Google Tag Manager (Predictive Engagement tracking snippet deployments only)

Important

The JavaScript code that you define for an event tag runs every time a visitor is on a page that matches the run condition defined for the tag (either the specific page URL or the presence of an HTML element).

Create a TimeonPage6Secs segment

1. In Segments, under Visitor journey, click Add first activity.
2. In the Attribute box, select Event name.
3. In the Operator box, select equals.
4. In the Value box, type the name for your tag as you defined it in your ac('record') or Journey.record call.
   
   Important

   You must create a visitor journey attribute of the Event name type. Do not use the Custom attribute type.

Test your solution in Live Now

1. Open Live Now.
2. Open your website.
3. Start a visit and go to the page that you are tracking.
4. Do nothing for 6 seconds.
5. Refresh Live Now and verify that a new visitor was added to the TimeOnPage6Secs segment.
