Method Calls and Monetate Features Unlocked

Each Monetate JavaScript API method offers benefits you can use in the experiences you build. Furthermore, each method you use unlocks more WHO behavioral targets under each corresponding section.

With this method you can create an experience that targets customers who have viewed a certain product during their current visit. Using it also unlocks advanced Product Recommendations features.

The addProducts and addProductDetails methods are not limited or tied to product or index page types and can be used to target any page type as long as the relevant product IDs are sent to the platform. These methods are tied to the PID information sent to the platform and are independent on the page type sent via the setPageType method. In the action conditions listed, you can use conditions that require PIDs on any page type. They aren't tied only to index, search, or product page types.
