If you purchased the Known Contact Personalization module, you can also create dynamic content based on visitor characteristics (segments).

Dynamic Text ContentLink to this section

For this example, let's create dynamic text based on a returning visitor to our site. Dynamic text content inherits styling (font, weight, and color) where it's placed.

  1. Go to Content > Personalization.
  2. Click +New.
  3. Type to enter a name for your dynamic content.
  4. From the Type dropdown, select Text.
  5. Type to enter the default text.
    • Default text is shown when the visitor first views your site or when no variations match.
  6. From the Base Rule dropdown, select Returning Visitor.
  7. Click +Add Variation.
  8. Select the number of visits. 
  9. Enter the text that will show after a user meets the number of visits.
  10. Click Save.
    • Add, name, and reorder additional variations (optional).
  11. Click Launch.

Your customized content is now available for use on pages.

  2. Click +Add Variation.
  3. From the Region dropdown, select Zip Codes, Counties, Cities, States, or Countries.
  4. Select the checkbox(es) for the region(s) to include in your scope.

Page or Event VisitedLink to this section

Set your customized content to show after your site visitor lands on a certain page or clicks on a calendar event, as follows:

  1. From the Base Rule dropdown, select Page Visited, Most Visited, Most Recently Visited, or Events.
  2. Click +Add Variation.
  3. From file chooser, select the page or event visited.
  4. Enter text or choose a file to show as your variation.
  5. Add, name, and reorder additional variations (optional).
    • Whichever variation criteria your visitor meets first will be the only variation they see.

      For example, you may configure Variation 1 to display content only when your visitor has navigated to /about/contact-us.html and Variation 2 to display content only when your visitor has navigated to /admissions/scholarships.html. If your visitor has not navigated to either of these web pages, then your dynamic content will display your default content.
