The contact behavior profile

Current version: 9.3

The contact behavior profile contains information about a contact's past profile matches. This includes content profiling information such as profiles, profile cards and personas matched. Content profiling enables you to provide the contact with relevant, personalized content based on a broader understanding of their interactions with your organization.

Note

When you run Experience Management in CMS-only mode and have Xdb.Enabled set to false, the contact behavior profile does not work and no data is saved to any shared sessions in the xDB.

Using the contact behavior profile

In the Marketing Control Panel, you can control how long an individual profile or pattern card is relevant to the contact behavior profile by setting the decay rate. The decay rate is a percentage that expresses how relevant the profile will remain over time.

Marketing Control Panel with contact behavior profile example

You can implement personalization rules based on the values in a contact's contact behavior profile to show personalized content based on past profile matches instead of the current profile matches. This enables you to provide more relevant information to a contact over the course of their relationship with your organization.
