Within the context of Salesforce Marketing Cloud's Interaction Studio (formerly Evergage), "recipes" are pre- built configurations for personalized recommendations. These recipes utilize different types of "ingredients" to determine which items to recommend. Let's break down the correct options:
A: Catalog-based and Trending
* Verified:This is a type of ingredient used in Interaction Studio recipes.
* Explanation:
* Catalog-based:This ingredient leverages data from your product or content catalog. It can recommend items based on various catalog attributes like:
* Category:Recommending items from the same or related categories as items the user has viewed or interacted with.
* Attributes:Recommending items that share specific attributes (e.g., color, brand, size) with items the user has shown interest in.
* Keywords:Recommending items whose descriptions or metadata match keywords derived from user behavior.
* Trending:This ingredient considers the overall popularity or trending status of items within your catalog, often within a specific timeframe (e.g., "Trending in the last 7 days").
* Salesforce Marketing Cloud References:
* Interaction Studio Recipes:The Interaction Studio documentation describes the various recipe types and the ingredients they use.
B: Recommendations
* Verified:This is a broad category encompassing ingredients that generate recommendations based on various algorithms.
* Explanation:
* Recommendation Algorithms:Interaction Studio employs different algorithms to generate recommendations, including:
* Collaborative Filtering:Recommending items that similar users have liked or interacted with.
* Content-Based Filtering:Recommending items that are similar in content or attributes to items the user has shown interest in.
* User Affinity:Recommending items based on the user's overall affinity for particular categories, brands, or attributes, calculated from their historical interactions.
* Note:"Recommendations" is a more general term. Specific recommendation ingredients might have names like "User-to-Item Affinity," "Item-to-Item Similarity," or use algorithm names directly.
C: Co-Occurrence
* Verified:This is a specific type of recommendation ingredient that focuses on items frequently viewed or purchased together.
* Explanation:
* Co-occurrence Logic:This ingredient identifies items that are often viewed or purchased in the same session or within a short timeframe. It suggests that if a user is interested in item A, they are also likely to be interested in item B because other users have frequently interacted with both items together.
* Examples:
* "Customers who bought this item also bought..."
* "Frequently viewed together"
