A sitemap inInteraction Studioenables IS to identify key components on a website for personalization purposes, including:

Page Types (Answer A):

Classifies different types of pages (e.g., product pages, category pages).

Content Zones (Answer B):

Defines areas of the webpage where personalized content can be displayed.

Attributes (Answer C):

Captures metadata about pages and elements, such as product details or user behavior.

In an open-time email campaign, Marketing Cloud Personalization uses:

Recipe (Answer A):

Drives dynamic recommendations such as personalized product or content suggestions.

Promotion (Answer D):

Dynamically delivers personalized offers or discounts based on user attributes and behavior.

In Salesforce Marketing Cloud Interaction Studio (Marketing Cloud Personalization),pageTypeis a critical concept for defining the structure and behavior of web pages. A web developer can specify several components by usingpageType, enabling Interaction Studio to properly capture data, define user interactions, and deliver personalized content.

1. Item Actions

What It Is:Developers defineitem actionsto specify the types of actions that users can take on thepage. These actions allow Interaction Studio to track specific user behaviors and interactions with items (e.g., clicking, adding to cart, or viewing details).

Purpose:

To enable the platform to log user activity for analytics and personalization.

To define actionable items on the page for recommendations or offers.

Example:

A developer sets up "Add to Cart" and "View Product" actions for product pages.

Documentation Reference:Item Actions in Interaction Studio.

2. Content Zones

What It Is:Content zones are specific areas on a web page where personalized content can be dynamically displayed. Developers define these zones by pageType to ensure personalized content is delivered in the correct location.

Purpose:

To designate sections of a webpage for personalization.

To enable seamless integration of Interaction Studio's campaigns and recommendations.

Example:

A developer defines a "Hero Banner Zone" or "Sidebar Recommendations Zone" for a pageType associated with a homepage or product page.

Documentation Reference:Defining Content Zones.

3. Capturing Attribute

What It Is:Capturing attributes involves defining data fields or properties that Interaction Studio should capture when a pageType is loaded. These attributes provide context about the user, items, or page to support personalization and analytics.

Purpose:

To enrich Interaction Studio’s dataset with key metadata for better targeting and reporting.

To capture information like product IDs, categories, or user actions on specific page types.

Example:

A developer captures attributes such as "Product Name," "Category," or "Price" on a product page.

Documentation Reference:Capturing Attributes in Interaction Studio.

Why Other Options Are Not Correct

B. Campaign:

Campaigns are created and managed separately in Interaction Studio. They are not a component ofpageType.

Before implementing the Sitemap, a solution architect and customer should define:

Site Catalog (Answer E):

Ensure the catalog of products, content, or services is structured and accessible for personalization logic.

When configuring a new recipe algorithm, the following components are optional:

Boosters (Answer D):

Allows prioritizing specific items based on business goals, such as promoting higher-margin products.

Exclusions (Answer E):

Filters out certain items or categories from being recommended.

Two ways to populate the Marketing Cloud Personalization catalog are:

ETL Feed (Answer C):

Upload data files to populate the catalog with batch updates.

Web SDK (Answer D):

Automatically collect catalog data during website interactions.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud Documentation - Catalog Management

In SalesforcePersonalization(formerly Interaction Studio) or other Industry-specific Marketing Cloud extensions, you can configurecustom catalog dimensions(sometimes called “catalogattributes” or “dimensional data”) for products, content, or other catalog objects. Once configured, these additional attributes become available throughout the platform for various use cases.

Below are the three core areas (from the listed options) where a business user can leverage these custom catalog dimensions,along with Salesforce documentation references:

1. Segmentation

How It Works

Custom catalog dimensions allow you to define attributes (like product color, brand, or style) and then use these attributes insegment criteria. For example, if you create a dimension called "Brand," you can build a segment of visitors who have viewed or purchased items where Brand = X.

Why This Matters

By leveraging catalog-driven segments, you can more precisely target audiences based on the items they browse or purchase.

Salesforce Reference

Salesforce Help:Segment Builder OverviewExplains how to build segments using catalog attributes (dimensions).

2. Reporting

How It Works

Custom catalog dimensions can appear asbreakdownsordimension filtersin certainPersonalizationreports and dashboards. For instance, you might see reporting that shows conversion, clicks, or revenue segmented by a custom dimension like “Category” or “Brand”.

Why This Matters

Analyzing performance metrics by these custom dimensions provides deeper insight into how different attributes perform (e.g., which brand sells best, which category has the highest click-through rate, etc.).

Salesforce Reference

Salesforce Help:Analytics and Reporting in PersonalizationIllustrates how catalog dimensions can be used in various analytics views.

3. Recipe Exclusions and Boosting

How It Works

Recipes(the rule sets and algorithms that generate personalized recommendations) can use custom dimensions toexcludecertain items orboostothers. For example, you might boost items with Sustainability = "EcoFriendly" or exclude products where Brand = "CompetitorBrand".

Why This Matters

This gives merchandisers or marketers fine-grained control over product recommendations, ensuring the right products are shown (or hidden) based on business goals and strategies.
