The Evolv AI session context
The Evolv AI's session context is a set of data attributes used to describe a user in a given session. Attribute values are set to the context through Evolv AI’s supported SDKs. The context is then sent to Evolv AI’s Participants API and processed according to schema definitions.
To learn how the system receives data from the context, read About the Schema.
Setting context attributes from your digital experience
You can write to Evolv AI’s context from your digital experience using one or more of our supported SDKs.
Examples using the Javascript SDK
Set the campaign name of an ad source
evolv.context.set(‘campaign’, ‘back-to-school’)Set value of an ecommerce order
evolv.context.set(‘order_value’, 15.00)Set the status of a visitor
evolv.context.set(‘logged_in’, true) Using context attributes in audience targeting and optimization metrics
The data set to the context can be used in two ways:
- Targeting visitors based on their context attributes, e.g. cart_age, return_status
Learn more: Targeting audiences with context attributes - Optimizing numeric attributes e.g. order_value, video_minutes_watched
