Integration Steps

Integrate with Optimizely Data Platform – Web

1. Setup your ODP Custom External Identifier
2. You will need to request your ODP CSM team team to provision a field in your ODP account AdFixus to be setup as a “custom external identifier”.
3. ODP Customer Identities also requires the setting of an “Identifier Confidence” (High Confidence or Low Confidence). The confidence setting of an identifier in ODP determines the identifiers role in the identity resolution process within ODP. This can be configured for custom identifiers (e.g. AdFixus ID). Please reach out to your AdFixus CSM to discuss the impacts of different confidence settings in alignment with your identity resolution expectations.
4. Include the AdFixus ID in your Optimizely Web SDK implementation. You will need to request your organisation’s ODP Web SDK implementation team to include the “AdFixus ID” cookie value as an identifier in your ODP Web SDK configuration. This should be captured in the first object of the “customer()” method. e.g. “set the AdFixus ID cookie value as "ODP_afx_id" in the ODP Web SDK "customer()" function.
