Using Tealium AudienceStream with AB Tasty

Tealium AudienceStream is a Customer Data Platform (or CDP) which enables you to qualify the users who visit a website in order to create audience segments.

Tealium AudienceStream enables you to create visitor badges in view of generating your own custom segments.

A badge (or attribute) is a category of visitors who all match specific criteria and carry out specific actions on the website. One visitor can have several badges and these can evolve as a function of their behavior on the website.

A segment can be made up of several badges, as well as other triggers such as the duration of a session on the website.

Once Tealium AudienceStream is integrated into the platform, AB Tasty collects the segments created in Tealium AudienceStream to offer advanced campaign targeting (personalization preferences).

You may then configure your segments and badges to create custom segments in AB Tasty.

The AB Tasty tag detects and reads the localstorage of the visitor’s browser to determine whether or not they match the segmentation target. In order to do this, the tag reads the key according to the following template: tealium_va_accountname_profile.

1. In the Targeting step of your campaign, click Who will see the test / subtest / scenario.
2. Select Create new segment from the drop-down list:
   A screen appears.
