Transferring Website Behavior Data via JavaScript Requests

To transfer website data to our platform, you need to install the web tracking script on your site. After, you’ll be able to send the user behavior data and use it to create personalized product recommendations for the site and for your emails.

We encrypt and safely store in our system the contact data received in events, like email addresses, phone numbers, and others.

You can send events through one of the methods:

• Using eS.JS;
• Using REST API.

Script

Script eS

Purpose

The script tracks what page a visitor is browsing and allows to send events from any page where it is installed.

Installation

The script should be installed on all pages of your site before the closing tag body.

It can be installed by using GTM but it can result in traffic loss as almost all content filters block GTM.

• GTM (Google Tag Manager) is a tag management system that allows you to install user scripts on the site pages without interfering with its code.
• Content filters (content-control software or web filtering software) is a tool or software that filters sites by content and blocks access to certain sites with content unavailable for viewing.

Example

<script>
!function(t, e, c, n) {
    var s = e.createElement(c);
    s.async = 1, s.src = 'https://cdn.esputnik.com/scripts/' + n + '.js';
    var r = e.scripts[0];
    r.parentNode.insertBefore(s, r);
    var f = function() {
        f.c(arguments);
    };
    f.q = [];
    f.c = function() {
        f.q.push(arguments);
    };
    t['eS'] = t['eS'] || f;
}(window, document, 'script', '000000000000000000');

eS('init', {
    TRACKING: false,
    RECOMS: true
});
</script>

Parameters

Page View

PageView

Description

Sending the PageView event - occurs automatically when the page is reloaded, if you have a one-page site and when you go to other sections of the site, the page does not reload, you can configure the event transmission yourself.

Example

eS('sendEvent', 'PageView', {
 'PageView': { }
});

Site Visitor Data

In all events (optional, not mandatory)

Description

Sending events from all pages with a visitor ID (email, phoneNumber, contactId).

Necessary to match contacts with Cookies.

Example

{
	"GeneralInfo": {
		"externalCustomerId": "1234509876",
		"user_email": "example@email.com",
		"user_phone": "380501234567",
		"user_es_contact_id": 100500
	},
	"ProductPage": {
		"productKey": "24-WG02"
	}
}

Parameters

Basic segmentation events (Advanced Tariff)

Product Card

ProductPage

Description

Sending a ProductPage event, a product card with availability, price and code of the product.

Necessary to calculate and display recommendations and send abandoned views.

Example

eS('sendEvent', 'ProductPage', {
        'ProductPage': {
            'productKey': '24-MB02',            
            'price': '153',
            'isInStock': 1,
            'tag_some_field': ['123'],
            'tag_another_field': ['321', '213']
        }});

Parameters

Cart

StatusCart

Description

The cart is sent as an array of data. The event must be sent every time:

• when adding a product to the cart from the category, product and home pages
• when deleting an item from the cart in a pop-up window or on the cart/checkout page
• when emptying the cart (if possible)

The StatusCart event does not convey the fact of adding a specific product to the cart, but the current state of the cart. If the first product is added to the cart, then an array with one product is sent in the StatusCart event. If a 2nd, 3rd, etc. products are added, then an array of 2, 3, etc. products is transmitted in the StatusCart events. The same logic works when removing items from the cart.

GUID parameter. In each StatusCart event, a GUID parameter must be passed. This is a unique identifier of the current state of the cart. Every time you send a StatusCart event, you need to send a new GUID value that will be different from the previous ones.

Example (cart with added items)

eS('sendEvent', 'StatusCart', {
   'StatusCart': [
       {
           'productKey': '24-MB02',
           'price': '153',
           'quantity': '1',
           'currency': 'USD',
           "tag_something": [
               "aaa",
               "bbb"
           ]
       }, {
           'productKey': '123-321',
           'price': '450.00',
           'quantity': '3',
           'currency': 'USD'
       }
   ],
   'GUID': '2b914e9c-43ee-bf41-6f80-b97db1e8ab7e'
});

If you need to send additional event parameters, use a different construction

Example (empty cart)

eS('sendEvent', 'StatusCart', {
            'StatusCart': [],
            'GUID': '2c914e9c-43ee-bf41-6f80-b97db1e8ab7e'
        });

Parameters

Purchase

PurchasedItems

Description

To show recommendations on the order confirmation page or to send abandoned cart triggers, you need to send a request specifying the purchased item.

If you don’t send abandoned cart triggers, you can send the items in the PurchasedItems event, without StatusCart.

Example (purchase in one click)

eS('sendEvent', 'PurchasedItems', {
    "OrderNumber": "123/2017",
    "PurchasedItems": [{
        "productKey": "24-MB02",
        "price": "153",

    }],
    "Tags": {
        "blockId": ["19787_r119v224"]
    }
});

eS('sendEvent', 'PurchasedItems', {
    "OrderNumber": "123/2017",
    "PurchasedItems": [{
        "productKey": "24-MB02",

        "currency": "USD"
    }],

Parameters

Additional Events Required for Recommendations on the Site

Product Card (Additional Settings)

ProductPage

If the cart/checkout page does not send StatusCart (there were no changes to the cart), but needs to display the cart recommendation block, send an event eS('sendEvent', 'StatusCartPage')

Main Page

MainPage

Description

NotFound

Description

Impressions

ProductImpression

If you set up calling recommendations through the JS API, you must call  ProductImpressions method when recommendation appears in user’s browser viewport (when user see recommendation) so tracking could work correct. You could use Intersection Observer API to detect element visibility to a user or any other method of your choice. The request must contain the parameters that were returned in the getRecommendations response: product identifiers and a container_type containing the block ID and variant_id.

Description

To show impressions for recommendation blocks in Reports, you need to send a request with data on the displayed items.

    }]
});

Parameters

If there are several blocks on one page, all sessions are sent in one request.
