Use Contentsquare Live Signals in a Web Experience

This content is only for clients with a Monetate tag implementation that also have Contentsquare's Live Signals feature.

The integration between Contentsquare's Live Signals feature and Monetate allows you to leverage real-time site visitor behavior—such as rage clicks, repeated scrolling, and time spent on a page—in Web experiences.

Before you can use a behavior signal in an experience, you must set up Live Signals in your Contentsquare account. See the Live Signals documentation in the Contentsquare Knowledge Base for the steps.

Confirming the Integration

After you set up and trigger Live Signals in Contentsquare, verify that they're sending real-time data to Monetate. Launch Monetate Inspector to confirm that the page category and custom variable are being passed to Monetate.

The Track tab of Monetate Inspector, with values for Page Type, Categories, and Custom Variables that show Contentsquare Live Signals data is being sent to Monetate

Using a Signal in a Web Experience

To use a Live Signal visitor behavior signal in a Monetate Web experience, you must create a specific type of action condition. This action condition you can add when configuring a WHAT action for a Web experience, or you can include it when creating an action in Action Builder.

  1. Click ADD ACTION, expand Page category, and then select either Page category contains or Page category =.

    Animated demonstration of a user clicking the ADD ACTION button, expanding the 'Page category' menu options, and then highlighting first 'Page category contains' and then 'Page category ='

  2. Input first _cs_livesignal- and then the signal's event name (for example, _cs_livesignal-returns_intention_signal for the Item Returns Intention signal). Press Enter.

    Animated demonstration of a user typing '_cs_livesignal-returns_intention_signal' into the text field for the action condition 'Page category =' and then pressing Enter to save the value
