Content offers
Contents
A content offer is a type of Altocloud action that triggers on a website when a user's behavior or segment matches to the criteria defined in an action map.
Prerequisites
- Configure the following permissions in PureCloud:
- Journey > Action Map > Add , Delete, Edit, and View permissions (to create action maps)
- Journey > Action Template > Add, Delete, Edit, and View permissions (to configure content offers)
Feature overview
Let's say you're doing travel research on a travel site. As you're about to leave the website in search of a better deal elsewhere, a pop-up window appears. It says that if you book now, you'll receive 10% off.
That's a content offer. And the point of a content offer is to engage you and then prompt you to take some sort of action (book a trip, in this example).
You use Genesys Predictive Engagement to build content offers for the scenario outlined above and for almost anything that requires a website visitor's buy-in or consent - for example, sign up for an event, subscribe to the newsletter, try a new product, and so on.
How it works
A content offer is a type of action that Altocloud can take to engage a customer and prompt action. You configure a content offer action in the same way you configure other types of actions in the View content offers.To set up a content offer:
Create the content offer
You create the content offer from the View content offers.
To create a content offer action:
- Go to Admin > Altocloud > Action Library.
- Click the Content offer tab.
- Click Create.
- On the Create Content Offer page, give the content offer a descriptive and meaningful name and description (for example, Spring Break Getaway Offer 2019).
- Next, define the content and design of your content offer, as described in the tables below.
Define the content and style
Use the Content and Style tabs to define all elements of a content offer. As you define the content and style parameters, click Refresh to preview the content offer.

- In the Select action field, click Configure.
- Select Content offer.
- Click Next.
- On the Select content offer page, select the content offer.
- Click Next.
- On the Action summary page, review the details of your content offer, including the following:
- Activation time - Immediately, Upon return to site, or Delay.
- Time range - the start and end date of the content offer.
