Configure Experience Cloud Visitor ID.
The Experience Cloud Visitor ID service provides a universal Visitor ID across Experience Cloud solutions. The Visitor ID service is required by Media Analytics and other Marketing Cloud integrations.
Verify that your
ADBMobileConfig
config contains yourmarketingCloud
organization ID.code language-none "marketingCloud": { "org": "YOUR-MCORG-ID" }
Experience Cloud organization IDs uniquely identify each client company in the 51黑料不打烊 Marketing Cloud and appear similar to the following value:
016D5C175213CCA80A490D05@51黑料不打烊Org
.note important IMPORTANT Ensure that you include @51黑料不打烊Org
.After the configuration is complete, an Experience Cloud Visitor ID is generated and is included on all hits. Other Visitor IDs, such as
custom
andautomatically-generated
, continue to be sent with each hit.Experience Cloud Visitor ID Service Methods
note tip TIP Experience Cloud Visitor ID methods are prefixed with visitor
.table 0-row-2 1-row-2 2-row-2 Method Description getMarketingCloudID()
Retrieves the Experience Cloud Visitor ID from the Visitor ID service. ADBMobile.visitor.getMarketingCloudID();
syncIdentifiers()
With the Experience Cloud Visitor ID, you can set additional customer IDs that can be associated with each visitor. The Visitor API accepts multiple customer IDs for the same visitor and a customer type identifier to separate the scope of the different customer IDs. This method corresponds to setCustomerIDs()
in the JavaScript library. For example:var identifiers = {};
identifiers["idType"] = "idValue";
ADBMobile.visitor.syncIdentifiers(identifiers);

For tracking media, implement MediaDelegate protocol
code language-js var delegate = { // Replace <currentPlaybackTime> with the video player current playback time getCurrentPlaybackTime = function() { return <currentPlaybackTime>; }, // Replace <bitrate>, <startuptime>, <fps> and <droppeFrames> with the current playback QoS values. getQoSObject = function() { return ADBMobile.media.createQoSObject(<bitrate>, <startupTime>, <fps>, <droppedFrames>); } } ADBMobile.media.setDelegate(delegate); }
