Viewed Experiment

The Viewed Experiment event must be pushed to the digitalData.events array the moment the user is split into one of the variations of a split-test.

From the site code / when using AJAX

digitalData.events.push({
  name: 'Viewed Experiment',
  experiment: {
    id: "27fbe483-77bf-4949-b6f1-135806cc995c",
    name: "Product page test",
    variationId: 1,
    variationName: "Bigger product image"
  }
})

The composition of the event object depends on the experiments system used. The example above is of an event for the Driveback Experiments system.

The variables: category, label, nonInteraction are optional and can be used for sending the corresponding parameters to Google BigQuery. In addition to the previous variables, action and value variables can be sent to Google Analytics.

nonInteraction is a boolean type variable that is used for controlling whether the event hit will affect the bounce rate on a page. By default, the variable has the value false and the event hit is considered an interaction hit, when its value is set to true, the type of event hit is not considered an interaction hit.

Trigger: event Viewed Cart,

Event handler:

if(_digitalData('user.abGroup') === 1) {
  return {
    name: 'Viewed Experiment',
    experiment: {
      id: "27fbe483-77bf-4949-b6f1-135806cc995c",
      name: "Cart recommendations test",
      variationId: 1,
      variationName: "New recommendation algorithm"
    },
    nonInteraction: true,   // If this variable isn't declared nonInteraction: false will be passed by default
    label: 'Example label value 1' // The value of the label variable will be passed to GA
  };
} else {
  return {
    name: 'Viewed Experiment',
    experiment: {
      id: "27fbe483-77bf-4949-b6f1-135806cc995c",
      name: "Cart recommendations test",
      variationId: 2,
      variationName: "Old recommendation algorithm"
    },
    nonInteraction: true,   // If this variable isn't declared nonInteraction: false will be passed by default
    label: 'Example label value 2' // The value of the label variable will be passed to GA
  };
}
