Tracking Events
When viewing a home-page, there's no context to be provided, so invoking the
viewFrontPage will suffice.nostojs(api => {
api.defaultSession()
.viewFrontPage()
.setPlacements(['homepage-nosto-1', 'bestseller-recs'])
.load()
.then(data => {
console.log(data.recommendations);
})
});
When viewing a product, you should send the product-id of the current product being viewed. Unlike the regular implementation, you do not need to pass the entirety of the product metadata.
nostojs(api => {
api.defaultSession()
.viewProduct('product-id')
.setPlacements(['product-crosssells'])
.load()
.then(data => {
console.log(data.recommendations);
})
});
Optional event that can be sent to signal that a specific sku is being viewed. Typical use case for sending this event would be from product detail page when the user selects a product variant, such as some specific color and/or size. The recommendations can then be configured to update and give preference for products that have similar variants available. For example "Other products also available in the same size". Product sku views are added with the function
viewProductSku:nostojs(api => {
api.defaultSession()
.setResponseMode('HTML')
.viewProductSku('product-id-x', 'sku-id-y')
.setPlacements( api.placements.getPlacements() )
.load()
.then(response => {
api.placements.injectCampaigns(response.recommendations)
})
});
This example leverages dynamic placements and html rendering
When viewing a category or collection, you should send the slash-delimited and fully-qualified path of the current category.
nostojs(api => {
api.defaultSession()
.viewCategory('/Womens/Dresses')
.setPlacements(['category-related'])
.load()
.then(data => {
console.log(data.recommendations);
})
});
You don’t need to ensure the case-sensitivity of the category being passed so long as the path is tagged in the same way as your product’s categories are.
On Shopify, the category name should be used, so in the snippet above, use simply "Dresses" instead of the fully qualified name.
Categories must always be delimited by a slash. For example,
/Home/Accessories is a valid category while Home > Accessories is not.When viewing the results of a search, you must send the exact search-term as queried for.
nostojs(api => {
api.defaultSession()
.viewSearch('womens dresses')
.setPlacements(['search-related'])
.load()
.then(data => {
console.log(data.recommendations);
})
});
Note: You don’t need to normalize or encode the search query in any way.
When viewing a checkout page, there's no context to be provided, so invoking the
viewCart will suffice.nostojs(api => {
api.defaultSession()
.viewCart()
.setPlacements(['cart-related'])
.load()
.then(data => {
console.log(data.recommendations);
})
});
On all thank-you and order-confirmation views, the order confirmation metadata must be passed.
The order confirmation metadata is used for sending personalised order-followup emails, personalise the recommendations e.g. order-related, for segmentation insights and conversion statistics.
Important Even if you would not display any recommendations in your order-confirmation view you must still set placements (
.setPlacements(...)) and load (.load()) the results. Setting the order works in a similar manner than cart and customer and an action must be performed for the data to be sent to Nosto.nostojs(api => {
api.defaultSession()
.addOrder(
{
"external_order_ref": "145000006",
"info": {
"order_number": "195",
"email": "[email protected]",
"first_name": "Mridang",
"last_name": "Agarwalla",
"type": "order",
"newsletter": true
},
"items": [
{
"product_id": "406",
"sku_id": "243",
"name": "Linen Blazer (White, S)",
"quantity": 1,
"unit_price": 455,
"price_currency_code": "EUR"
}
]
})
.setPlacements(['order-related'])
.load()
.then(data => {
console.log(data.recommendations);
})
});
When viewing a page / view that was not found, there's no context to be provided, so invoking the
viewNotFound will suffice.nostojs(api => {
api.defaultSession()
.viewNotFound()
.setPlacements(['notfound-nosto-1', 'bestseller-recs'])
.load()
.then(data => {
console.log(data.recommendations);
})
});
p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Menlo; color: #000000; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5)}
p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Menlo; color: #000000; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); min-height: 13.0px}
When a page with a type - other than the ones listed here - is viewed, there's no context to be provided, so invoking the
viewOther will suffice.nostojs(api => {
api.defaultSession()
.viewOther()
.setPlacements(['general-recommendations'])
.load()
.then(data => {
console.log(data.recommendations);
})
});
