eZ Recommendation
The main value of the extension is to automatically create tracking events from user activities and export relevant content to the eZ Recommendation service. It feeds the cloud-based recommender engine with these data and retrieves on-demand recommendations to be rendered in the Exponential frontend.
It contains the following functions:
- Accesses the YOOCHOOSE cloud-service APIs to retrieve recommendations on demand from the recommendation service
- Supports publisher as well as online shop recommendations
- Creates a workflow to export content to recommendation
- By default this workflow is triggered after publishing objects marked as recommendable
- Provides a script to trigger a full export of all existing content marked as recommendable
- Defines a new Recommendation datatype with a recommend flag
- Creates tracking events from user activities on objects that are marked as recommendable
- Creates a workflow for purchase events when products are bought in the web shop
- Creates a workflow for delete content when a node is deleted
- Creates a recommendation entry in the support panel to show statistics
