Understanding the Challenge

The Einstein Engagement Split in Journey Builder categorizes subscribers into personas such as Loyalists, Window Shoppers, and Dormant. To pass the persona value using an AMPScript personalization string, teams need a more integrated approach.

Possible Solutions

A community member asked about using an Update Contact activity to set the correct value in a data extension for every path/persona. However, this approach has its limitations, as it may not apply to the current journey’s context.

Another possible solution is to use send logging and ensure that the feeder data extension has the Einstein Engagement Split personas available. This approach allows for further segmentation to third-party services.

Technical Implementation

To implement this solution, teams can use a combination of AMPScript and Server-Side JavaScript (SSJS). The following code snippet demonstrates how to use AMPScript to get the Einstein Engagement Split persona data:

AMPScript example

%%[ var @persona = LookupRows('Einstein_MC_Predictive_Scores', 'ContactKey', _subscriberkey) ]%%

This code snippet uses the LookupRows function to retrieve the Einstein Engagement Split persona data for the subscriber.

The root cause of this challenge is the lack of a native and integrated way to pass Einstein Engagement Split persona values using AMPScript in Journey Builder.

Best Practices and Recommendations

To ensure a smooth implementation, teams should follow these best practices:

Checklist

• Use a combination of Update Contact activity and AMPScript to set the correct value in a data extension for every path/persona.
• Ensure that the feeder data extension has the Einstein Engagement Split personas available.
• Use send logging to write the Einstein Engagement Split persona attributes to the send log.
• Test and validate the implementation to ensure that the persona data is being passed correctly.
• Monitor and analyze the results to optimize the Journey Builder configuration.
