Scenario

The technical team has successfully developed the infrastructure for streaming web activity data, and the Pega Customer Decision Hub™ application contains an installation of the Behavioral data accelerator component.

As a result, the U+ Comms website is now streaming the web activity of subscriptions to the ProcessClickstreamData data flow. The integration team provides the following information:

  1. The website creates clickstream events only if the user has successfully authenticated on the U+ Comms website and has a valid cookie.
  2. Currently, the website creates clickstream events only for the Account page and the Home page. However, the product pages will begin streaming events in a later phase of the project.
  3. The following example shows a sample JSON payload for the BehavioralData clickstream service:
    {
    "CustomerID":"1111111111",
    "InterestedIn":"",
    "InterestLevel":"",
    "DeviceType":"PC",
    "EventType":"PageView",
    "PageType":"Account",
    "PageViewActiveTime":"45",
    "CookieID":""
    }
  1. The integration team also shares the following data structure with you:

You must initiate your own Pega instance to complete this Challenge.

Initialization may take up to 5 minutes so please be patient.

Detailed Tasks

1 Other details

  1. In the Profile Data Sources, add the Process clickstream data Data flow to the allowlist. For the Event timestamp, select Use System time.
  2. In the Profile Data Sources, create a new Summary named UComms Clickstream that aggregates the data in the Process clickstream data data flow for each CustomerID.
  3. In the UComms Clickstream summary, create the following aggregations:
    Aggregate Name ID Detail

    Avg Active Secs Acct Last 1 Day

    AvgActiveSecsAcctLast1Day

    Calculates in seconds the average time spent on the Account page over the last day.

    Avg Active Secs Home Last 1 Day

    AvgActiveSecsHomeLast1Day

    Calculates in seconds the average time spent on the Home page over the last day.

    Last Page

    LastPage

    Calculates the last page type visited by the subscriber over all time.

  1. Associate the UComms Clickstream summary with the Subscription entity, where SubscriptionID maps to CustomerID.
  2. Using Prediction Studio, add the newly defined aggregates to the Web Click Through Rate Subscription adaptive model.
  3. On the exercise landing page, log in to the U+ Comms website with the following profiles to generate clickstream data:
    Use Appswitcher to launch UComms
    1. Log in to the U+ Comms website as Bhuvi.
      Ucomms website
    2. Log out from the U+ Comms website.
    3. Log back into the U+ Comms website as Bhuvi.
  4. Confirm the aggregates are calculated for Bhuvi (SubscriptionID: 1111111111) on the Behavioral data tab, in the Customer Profile Viewer.

2 Acceptance criteria

  1. Use Customer Profile Viewer to confirm that the values in the UComms Clickstream summary for Bhuvi are aggregated correctly.
  2. The predictors are added to the Web Click Through Rate Subscription adaptive model.
