connecting RTCDP with AEM

Hi @rebinr1,

Integration Overview

The typical integration flow involves:

1. Data Collection: Implement the Adobe Experience Platform Web SDK on your AEM site to collect user interactions and send them to Adobe Experience Platform.

2. Profile Unification: RTCDP processes this data, unifying it into real-time customer profiles.

3. Audience Segmentation: Define audience segments within RTCDP based on unified profiles.

4. Activation via Adobe Target: Share these segments with Adobe Target, which can then deliver personalized content on your AEM site.
