Sitecore Personalize has several out of the box components that notify the user such as popup takeover, corner popup, sidebar, and alert bar.  These components all feature a close icon that will hide the component from the screen.  But there is no logic out of the box to prevent them from being displayed again.

I started a new Sitecore Personalize project.  The client nonprod and prod environments were freshly spun up.  All fresh and clean.  No offer templates, no experiences, no decision models.  I created the first experience and proceeded to click the preview button to test my experience.  To my surprise the experience did not render, and the […]

A few days ago, Sitecore released 10.4 of its platform DXP Products: XM and XP. Over the past several months, Sitecore has been doubling down on their messaging to existing customers that there is a path for them if they don’t want to move to XM Cloud in the near future and that they would […]

That was a decent gap since 1.5 years ago Sitecore previously released a feature-full version of their XM/XP platform, namely 10.3 was released on December 1st of 2022. That is why I was very excited to look through the newest release of the vendor’s self-hosted platforms and familiarize myself with its changes. First and foremost, […]

Sitecore Personalize uses a combination of experiences, decision models and offers to personalize content.  An experience defines a variant.  The variant is used to create the UI for the experience.  The decision model uses programmables and decision tables to select an offer.  The variant reads data from the offer to populate the UI.  By default, […]

Intro 📖 My team and I recently ran into an issue while working on a Sitecore XM Cloud project that turned out to be pretty interesting.

SUGCON (Sitecore User Group Conference) Europe 2024 was the second SUGCON I’ve attended, with the first just being six months ago in Minneapolis.
