Need to show banner/teaser once per session using Profile script in Adobe Target.

Question

Hi Team,

I have a requirement to display a banner/teaser once per session using a Profile Script in Adobe Target. This functionality is needed for multiple use cases.

Could you please provide guidance on how to implement this across the various use cases?

Thank you!

Best regards,

@devakrishnara2 Sorry, try this instead - i was a bit too quick on the previous one:

// Profile script to control session-only display of a banner
if (user.sessionId != user.getLocal('sessionIdBannerShown')) {
    // First time in this session, allow the banner to display
    user.setLocal('sessionIdBannerShown', user.sessionId);
    return false; // Indicates banner can be shown
} else {
    // Banner has been shown already in this session
    return true; // Indicates banner should not be shown again
}

Here's a quick demo of it in action: https://www.loom.com/share/db450c90641c4e8fa940b535b28a87f1?sid=32e84a1b-1beb-498e-a929-b3c33e06ed30

Hi @devakrishnara2

I think it should something like this:

// Profile script to control session-only display of a banner
if (user.sessionId !== profile.sessionIdBannerShown) {
    // First time in this session, allow the banner to display
    profile.sessionIdBannerShown = user.sessionId;
    return false; // Indicates banner can be shown
} else {
    // Banner has been shown already in this session
    return true; // Indicates banner should not be shown again
}

Please note, that i haven't tested it.

In order to implement it, step 1) is to create the profile script. Step 2) is to create an audience which looks at the profile script (find it under visitor profile) and set it to contain/equal false. Step 3) apply this audience to your activity.

An alternative approach could be controlling it inside the experience by using a script and sessionStorage. You would apply this as custom code in the experience and you would then have to inject the banner as part of the script:

// Custom script to run in Adobe Target
if (!sessionStorage.getItem("bannerShown")) {
    // Display the banner and set a flag
    document.getElementById("your-banner-id").style.display = "block";
    sessionStorage.setItem("bannerShown", "true");
} else {
    // Hide the banner if already shown
    document.getElementById("your-banner-id").style.display = "none";
}

Probably not optimal as you won't be able to exclude on audience level, but wanted to mention it anyway.
