About the tracking snippet

To enable tracking on your website, you must deploy the Genesys Predictive Engagement tracking snippet. The following code is the Genesys Predictive Engagement tracking snippet that enables you to track visitor activity on your webpages.

<script>
  (function(a,t,c,l,o,u,d){a['_genesysJourneySdk']=o;a[o]=a[o]||function(){
  (a[o].q=a[o].q||[]).push(arguments)},a[o].l=1*new Date();u=t.createElement(c),
  d=t.getElementsByTagName(c)[0];u.async=1;u.src=l;u.charset='utf-8';d.parentNode.insertBefore(u,d)
  })(window, document, 'script', 'https://apps.inindca.com/journey/sdk/js/web/v1/ac.js', 'ac');
  ac('init', 'a061a3fe-7a80-4b50-9d3b-df88c0f9efad', { region: 'use1' });
  ac('pageview');
</script>

For more information about how the tracking snippet and the Journey JavaScript SDK work, see About the tracking snippet.

Copy the snippet

1. Click Admin.
2. Under Altocloud, click Tracking Snippet.
   
3. Copy the code. Genesys Predictive Engagement automatically populates your organization ID and region.
4. Paste the Genesys Predictive Engagement tracking snippet in the element of the website template page before the closing tag.

Important

• Since you are logged in to the Admin UI, the Genesys Predictive Engagement tracking snippet already contains your organization ID and your Genesys region.
• If you are concerned about using Genesys Predictive Engagement in a GDPR-compliant manner, see GDPR.
  
• The last argument in the Genesys Predictive Engagement tracking snippet is 'ac'. If your webpage or any third-party JavaScript uses this variable name globally, pass a custom value.
  
• When you call `ac`, the commands after it, such as init, pageview, and so on, are queued. When the website template file is completely downloaded, the queued commands are executed.

Deploy the snippet with a tag management system

To easily deploy the Genesys Predictive Engagement tracking snippet, use a tag management system such as Google Tag Manager, Tealium, Adobe Dynamic Tag Manager, and any others that provide the option to add custom JavaScript code.

Warning

Do not deploy the Genesys Predictive Engagement tracking snippet on any page that collects payment information.

Notes for using a tag manager

• Execute the tracking snippet on the main window of the website you want to track.
• Do not execute the tracking snippet in an iframe.
• When properly executed and initialized, the pinging should be frequent (once every 4-5 seconds), and it should return status code 200.
• When you copy the tracking snippet into your tag manager, omit both <script> and </script> tags.

Enhance your tracking

There are several ways to enhance how you track visitor activity:

• Use smart tags to track activity such as form-level events.
• Use the Journey JavaScript SDK to track page view events and to configure how Altocloud updates cookies.
• Configure advanced tracking to enable tracking across multiple domains.

Troubleshooting

If the tracking snippet does not work properly when you load it on your web pages, check the following things:
* Is the snippet on the correct page?
* Is the snippet correctly placed in the header?
* Are all of the parameters specified correctly?
* Are there any typos, missing characters, or extra white space?

Important

If you copy and paste the tracking snippet into an email or other editing program, that program may insert or replace characters in the tracking snippet. If you need to copy and paste the tracking snippet, use a text editor to ensure a clean copy and paste.
