Pages that have been deleted or removed are still showing up in Adobe Target Recommendations Collections and not sure how to get rid of them

Hello, 

 

We have ran into an issue where older pages that have been deleted, removed, or forward to another page now are still showing up in the products collections. I thought I could exclude based on thumbnail being broken but the old thumbnail URL is still present. Any other ideas on how to get these old missing pages out of Target Rec's?

@ryjo2021 Most efficient way for bulk deletion of entities is to use API's, Refer https://developers.adobetarget.com/api/recommendations/#operation/deleteEntities  and recommended method for authentication is to use service user via Adobe I/O.

 

Authentication Configuration: https://developer.adobe.com/target/before-administer/configure-authentication/

 

Changes reflect as per below cadence

  • Recommendations are updated within 15 minutes.
  • Existing recommendations and item attributes are shown until updates are available.
  • Catalog Search is updated after catalog index (3-8 hours).

Let me know if you need further details.

Hi @ryjo2021 

You can create exclusion of unavailable pages, using entity ids or some common entity param. All the ids in exclusion will not be shown in recommendations.

 

Thanks,

Gauresh

I'm aware of that route but it's not really sustainable as an enterprise to manually exclude pages. There must be a way to do it more efficiently. We are talking upwards of 4000 pages.
