The other day I was having trouble with a Guide engagement launching. It was launching in the same window but for some reason when I launching in a new window it was not triggering.





Found out (by going through advanced troubleshooting below) that the URL in the new window had a double slash which was causing the problem. Once I corrected the audience URL rule, it launched.





Here are some of my troubleshooting tips I take when determining why my engagement will not launch.





Troubleshooting Checklist







  • Ensure you using the right product - if you have multiple products you want to make sure you have the right one selected





  • Check the Schedule From date and Time Zone to ensure they are correct









  • Ensure the URL you are using matches the URL that the Audience explorer is recognizing



- Go to Audience Explorer & search on your email address





- Select User Profile on and then Full Profile





- Look at Page viewed (refresh if needed) and hover over to examine the URL (right mouse click to copy link)











Advanced Troubleshooting Checklist





NOTE: For this I like to set the Schedule Qualification Scope to Once Every Visit and narrow down the audience to just my email address.







  • Delete the Session Id apt.sid and refresh the page to see if the engagement will launch



- Open DevTools in Chrome (Inspect) by pressing Control+Shift+J or Command+Option+J (Mac).





- Select the Applications tab and look for Cookies





- Search for apt.sid





- Delete the session form the X to the right of the search box





- Refresh your page to see if the engagement launches







  • Check to see what URL is being interpreted by the browser (this is how I resolved my issue)



- Again in the DevTools in Chrome Click on the Network Tab





- In the search dialog in the top left of the Network tab type command pageview (or just 'pageview' or 'aptrinsic')





- Select on the Name and scroll down until you see the URL.

As you recall from my issue above I was able to launch in the same window - this was the URL shown





Successful launch in same window:











When launching in a new window I found that we actually had a double slash which I did not put in the Audience. Once I put the additional URL in with the double slash it worked!









Another way to check your URL accuracy in the Audience is to go the page in question then and refresh. Once refreshed, go to Audience Explorer in PX, search for your logged in email and select Full Profile.





Under Recent Activity you will see the last page viewed. Right mouse click and select Copy Link Address.





This will show the proper URL most the time but you may need to use the above Inspect technique to find any issues with a URL.
