This is my follow-up to my last post about AEP Schemas. In this post, we go into specific fields in a schema. We’re going to go into gory detail. I want to direct you to Adobe’s own documentation on this, too. It’s pretty good but doesn’t quite go as deep or hypothetical as I’d like … Read more
This is my first article in my upcoming series of AEP guides. Before we start – it’s all been said before. There’s already the Adobe documentation and an older article from Bounteous. My goal for this series is to help AEP concepts make way more sense to front-end technical marketers at the risk of leaving … Read more
I’m really sinking my teeth into Adobe Experience Platform (AEP) and wanted to share a few quick tips about debugging AEP that I’ve found helpful. If you’re reading this, you are probably already using the AEP Debugger. I also recommend checking out David Vallejo’s Analytics Debugger, which is an awesome AEP object explorer.
