Use Events to deliver behaviourally targeted experiences.

Events help you track key visitor behaviours on your site. They track the actions that people take on your site, such as clicks, product views, search and more.

You can track various behaviours with Events:

  • Time Based Events like time of day, day of week, season and month are tracked automatically. 
  • Pre-Defined Events gives you the liberty to define events exclusive to your website and target users based on the occurrences, non-occurrence or conditional occurrence of such events. You can use these to track behaviours like watching a video, submitting a form, or other actions like add to cart, product views, purchases, etc. RMC will track pre-defined events for any visitor to the site.


Events are always-on. This means that they constantly gather information on the behaviours that you defined, regardless of whether you’ve created or connected any campaigns to those events.

Targeting Rules Overview 

  • Select Targeting Rules from the scrollable list, drag and drop selected criteria to the left side of the screen. A given criterion can be removed by clicking the  button in its row.
  • Once a criterion has been inserted its properties and conditions can be defined. For example, some criterion can be set to include or exclude certain qualities; and those qualities can also be defined. In some cases qualities are selected from a dropdown list (such as browser language), while in other cases qualities are typed in manually (such as the operating system visitor is using).
  • If more than one criterion is used in a targeting rule, use the 'AND' or 'OR' logical operator to combine them.

What's the difference between 'AND' and 'OR' logical operator? 

Any new criterion you add with the 'OR' operator will expand your audience (to include any visitor who meets your first set of rules or your second set), while criterion added with the 'AND' operator will shrink your audience (by requiring audience members to meet both your first and second set of rules).
