What is Rules

Launch is a rule-based system. It looks for user interaction and associated data. When the criteria outlined in your rules are met, the rule triggers the extension, script, or client-side code you identified.

Rules is the core part of Launch. Its role is to control trigger conditions and execute actions, and when and where to send data.

Principles of Rules

Rules are composed of if … then …, and the action is executed when the previous trigger conditions are met. If is understood as the trigger condition of Rules, then is the action.

Adobe Launch Rules Guide (1)——Understanding Rule

If contains two configuration options, EVENTS and CONDITIONS.

EVENTS

EVENTS: The Chinese name is an event, but here should be understood as a trigger condition or trigger, that is, when, for example, EVENTS here can be click, submit, pull down and other actions.

The setting interface of EVENTS is as follows:

Adobe Launch Rules Guide (1)——Understanding Rule

  • Extensions: plug-ins, which indicate which extensions Rules is based on, generally using Core. If you want to track based on third-party plug-ins, you need to choose a third-party plug-in.
  • Event Type: The event type is the kind of trigger behavior. The Event Type here is based on the previous Extensions. Different Extensions will have different Event Types built in.
  • Name: The name is a combination of Extensions-Event Type, which is automatically generated and generally does not need to be changed.
  • Order: Sequence, which controls the trigger priority. The lower the value, the higher the trigger priority. Adobe highly recommends that you order your rules with positive numbers between 1 and 100 (default is 50). Simpler is better. 
    The specific configuration on the right is based on the Event Type. Different Event Types are different, and some are not.

There are many built-in Event Types in Core, as shown in the following table:

Category

Hover

Trigger the event if the user hovers over a specified element.

Mousedown

A pointing device is moved onto the element that has the listener attached or onto one of its children.

OTHERS

Custom Code

Inside your code, call trigger() whenever you would like the rule to fire.

Custom Event

Trigger the event if a custom event type occurs.

Data Element Change

A date element changed. This event lets you select a specific data element to use as a trigger.

Direct Call

PAGE LOAD

Library Loaded (Page Top)

Trigger the event as soon as the Launch library is loaded.

Page Bottom

Trigger the event once _satellite.pageBottom(); has been called. When loading the Launch library asynchronously, this event type should not be used.

Window Loaded

Trigger the event when onLoad is called by the browser and the page has finished loading.

 

Click ➕ on the right side of EVENTS to create one more EVENTS. Multiple EVENTS is a relationship representing OR. As long as one of them is triggered, it will be triggered.

CONDITIONS

CONDITIONS: This is the condition. Limit the previous trigger conditions, such as certain pages, certain types of users, which are triggered only by these pages or users.
The setting interface of CONDITIONS is as follows:

Adobe Launch Rules Guide (1)——Understanding Rule

  • Logic Type: Logic type, one is Regular, which satisfies the rules, which can be understood as including, and the other is Reception, which is exclusion.
  • Extensions: plugins, this must be consistent with EVENTS.
  • Condition Type: Match type, which field is used to match.
  • Name is a combination of Extensions-Condition Type, which is automatically generated and generally does not need to be changed.

The specific configuration on the right is based on the Condition Type. Different Condition Types are different and must not be empty.

Among them, there are many Condition types built into Core, as shown in the following table:

 

Category

Event Type

The setting interface of ACTIONS is as follows:

Adobe Launch Rules Guide (1)——Understanding Rule
