Recombee scenarios
Updated over 5 months ago

Recombee scenarios allow you to customize which content is recommended and to measure the effectiveness of your recommendations. You can copy a Scenario ID into the “Recombee” options for a Slider or Feature Module to use that Scenario when populating the Module with recommendations.

For best results use a separate Scenario ID for each module and make sure that your Scenario type matches the type you have selected in the Treefort admin dashboard (”Items to User” or “Items to Item”).

Recommending specific content types

You can use Scenarios to recommend a single content type such as audiobooks. To do that create a custom business rule with the ReQL filter 'contentType' in { "audiobook" } and then add the Business Rule to your Scenario. You can include multiple content types separated by commas if you wish (e.g. 'contentType' in { "audiobook", "ebook" }). The supported content types are:

  • audiobook

  • ebook

  • podcast

  • video

  • videoSeries

Recommending popular or trending items

Create an “Items to User” Scenario and choose “recombee:popular” for the type. By default this will recommend “all time” popular items. To recommend recently popular “trending” items limit the “timePeriod” property and add a “Recent Items” Booster. Use “publishedAt” for the Booster’s “Date property”.

Recommending recently published items

Create an “Items to User” Scenario and choose “recombee:custom-sort” for the type. Add a “Recent Items” Booster and use “publishedAt” for the Booster’s “Date property”.
