Overview
Integrating Convert Experiences with Triple Whale Analytics allows you to track experiments and variations directly within Triple Whale. This integration enhances your conversion rate optimization efforts by enabling the analysis of user behavior for each variation of your experiments. Custom events are used to pass the experiment and variation names the visitor is bucketed into.
Sign Up for Triple Whale Analytics
-
Visit the Triple Whale Website
Go to the Triple Whale website and sign up. -
Create an Account
Register using your email address and follow the prompts to set up your account. -
Obtain Your Pixel ID
After setup, you’ll receive a unique Triple Pixel ID required for tracking.
Add Tracking Code Snippets
To track user interactions, ensure that both the Convert Experiences tracking code and the Triple Whale Pixel are added to your website.
-
Install the Convert Tracking Code
- Navigate to Project Settings > Tracking Code in your Convert Experiences account.
- Add the tracking code to the
<head>
section of your website’s HTML.
-
Install the Triple Whale Pixel
- Add the Triple Whale Pixel to your website as per Triple Whale’s guidelines.
Activate the Convert-Triple Whale Integration
Add the following JavaScript code to your website, immediately after the Convert and Triple Whale tracking codes. This sends custom events containing experiment and variation names to Triple Whale Analytics.
// Function to handle the data sending to Triple Whale
function sendDataToPlatform(data) {
if (typeof triple === "function") {
data.forEach(item => {
triple('track', 'Convert Experiment Viewed', {
experimentName: item.expName,
variationName: item.varName
});
console.log("Sent data to Triple Whale: experimentName =", item.expName, "variationName =", item.varName);
});
} else {
console.error("Triple Whale function is not available.");
}
}
// Function to check if a library (e.g., Triple Whale) is loaded, with a timeout
function whenAvailable(name, callback) {
const maxTime = 150 * 1000; // Maximum wait time in milliseconds
const interval = 100; // Poll every 100 milliseconds
let elapsedTime = 0;
var intervalId = setInterval(function() {
if (window[name]) {
clearInterval(intervalId);
callback();
} else if (elapsedTime > maxTime) {
clearInterval(intervalId);
console.error(name + " library did not load in time.");
}
elapsedTime += interval;
}, interval);
}
// Convert snippet lifecycle hook for experiences evaluated
window._conv_q = window._conv_q || [];
window._conv_q.push({
what: 'addListener',
params: {
event: 'snippet.experiences_evaluated',
handler: () => {
console.log("All experiments have been evaluated");
// Prepare the data for each experiment and variation
const allData = Object.keys(convert.currentData.experiences).map(expId => {
const expData = convert.currentData.experiences[expId];
const variation = expData.variation;
let experimentName = convert.data.experiences.find(exp => exp.id === expId)?.name || 'Unknown Experiment';
return { expName: experimentName, varName: variation.name };
});
// Wait for the Triple Whale library to be available
whenAvailable('triple', function() {
sendDataToPlatform(allData);
});
}
}
});
Explanation of the Code:
sendDataToPlatform
Function: Sends custom events with experiment and variation names to Triple Whale.whenAvailable
Function: Ensures the Triple Whale library is loaded before attempting to send data.- Event Listener: Captures the
snippet.experiences_evaluated
event, gathers experiment data, and triggers the data transfer process.
