Preparing your Adobe Analytics account for integration with Alembic

See the External Resources section below for more information.

Create an Adobe Analytics Profile

  1. Go to the Adobe Admin Console.
  2. In the Product Profiles tab, create a New Profile and give it a name (e.g., “Alembic Profile”).
  3. Configure the profile with the desired reporting suites, metrics, and dimensions.
    1. Metrics - enable Auto-include: On
    2. Dimensions - enable Auto-include: On

Create an API Integration Project

  1. Navigate to the Adobe Developer Console.
  2. Click the Create new project button or select an existing project.

3. Click Save Credentials. If the linking process was successful, you will see your account listed in the Alembic Link Accounts page. On the Link Accounts page, see the first tab "Accounts you have connected to Alembic" for a full list of all the accounts you have linked to Alembic.

4. Click the blue Linked button next to the report suite that you want to add segments to for the current container, then select Link Segments. This will bring up the Link Adobe Analytics Segments page. If you have segments linked already, they will appear in a table below the Save Segments button.

5. Typing into the text box will pull up a list of segments that you can add. You can add multiple segments at the same time. See Considerations Regarding Segments below.

6. Clicking Save Segments will add the selected segments to the container and return you to the Link Accounts page.

7. For Adobe specifically, additional setup is required before enabling. Please reach out to your Client Partner for further instruction.

 

Considerations Regarding Segments

  • Ideally, you want to include ALL the segments that are key to understanding the container. Metrics within each segment will automatically be transformed into a detector.
  • Once you set up a segment, DO NOT change the underlying definition of the segment. We do not go back and update data after it's been ingested into Alembic. For example, if you set up a segment called "North America," we’ll ingest all data for North America. But when you change it to filter by "Desktop" only in the future, then data collected from that point forward will be reflective of that. Detections will be unreliable until the data establishes a new trend (30 days).

 

Requirements

Please make sure you have the following required settings in place before linking to Alembic. Need help? See the External Resources section below for more information.

  • A segment is required for metrics to be pulled in.

  • Segment must be visible to virtual report suite.

For a full list of requirements, see our Link Accounts article.

 

Limitations

At the time of linking, Alembic instantly backfills 25 months’ worth of historical Adobe Analytics data.  

Time series data is recorded historically. If an account becomes unlinked, all data collection stops until the account is relinked. When the account is relinked, Alembic will automatically backfill the missing time series data.
