Personalization refers to adapting content to a particular user according to his or her personal preferences, needs and capabilities. In order to do so, you first select a set of traits of a visitor or a visit, then compose rules using these traits to define what content is presented to which visitors and when.

Modules

Magnolia's Personalization feature consists of the following modules.

  • Integration: Core personalization support for creating page variants and fields for selecting traits and audiences.

  • Components: Support for creating component variants.

  • Traits: Example traits country, date, cookie and visitor.
  • Preview app: App for testing content delivery by impersonating a visitor.
  • Segmentation app: App for grouping visitors into segments.
  • Personas app: App for creating hypothetical visitors who represent your target audience.
  • Samples: Example personas and segments.
