Auto Products algorithm is developed to automatically identify particular characteristics of a new potential customer, such as customer's car brand and model, frequently used auto products, and specify product recommendations based on this data.

Following steps are covered


Add Additional Parameters to Your XML-file

For the algorithm to work properly every product in your XML Product Feed should have additional properties:

  • car brand and model
  • product type
  • frequently purchased product type

This data should be included into the XML-file in the form of specific product parameters and send to PersonaClick.

Add the following parameters to each product to your XML-File

		<compatibility brand="BMW" />
		<!-- using brand and model specifies product compatibility with defined model and brand -->
		<compatibility brand="Mini" model="Cooper S" />
		<!-- note that it is possible to list more than just one model -->
