What are stacked alerts?
Stacked alerts streamline alert management by allowing users to monitor multiple metrics within a single, consolidated alert rather than creating and managing numerous individual alerts for related KPIs.

The filtering capability adds another layer of granularity, ensuring that alerts are highly relevant to the recipient or the specific area of business being monitored.
The introduction of intelligent alerts, particularly when integrated with the anomaly detection feature, marks a shift in how users interact with their data. Instead of users needing to proactively and manually search for insights or problems within large and complex datasets, the system is a vigilant monitor. It proactively brings critical events and deviations to their attention through channels like "email or SMS with links to auto-generated analysis." This fosters a more immediate, engaged, and responsive approach to data-driven signals.

By providing detailed insights into viewing habits, identifying trending videos in real time, and enabling video advertising analysis, the solution empowers media companies, content creators, and marketers to make more informed, data-driven decisions regarding content creation strategies, programming schedules, and video advertising approaches. For instance, understanding how ad delivery impacts viewer experience and ensuring that ad messages are personalized can improve monetization outcomes and better viewer retention.
Voice analytics FAQs.
Voice-activated assistants and voice-based interfaces are increasingly integral to how consumers interact with technology and brands. Adobe Analytics provides dedicated capabilities to capture and analyze voice data, enabling businesses to optimize these emerging experiences.
How does Adobe Analytics support voice assistant analytics?
What key metrics can be captured for voice interactions?
To provide a nuanced understanding of voice interactions, Adobe Analytics allows for the capture of key data points specifically relevant to this medium. These metrics include:
- Frequency of use: How often users interact with the voice application.
- Intent: What users are trying to accomplish with their voice commands.
- User authentication: Whether and how users are authenticated during voice sessions.
- Slots: Specific pieces of information required to fulfill an intent (e.g., a city name for a weather request).
- Parameters: Additional details provided by the user related to their request.
- Session length: The duration of voice interaction sessions. These specialized metrics are tailored to the unique characteristics of voice interactions, helping businesses understand user behavior, the success rate of queries, points of friction, and overall engagement levels with their voice-enabled applications.
How does voice data integrate into an omnichannel view?
Data from voice assistant applications can be viewed alongside data from all other channels (e.g., web, mobile app, email) to provide a holistic and unified view of customer interactions across their entire journey with the brand. Furthermore, powerful analytical capabilities such as Anomaly Detection and unlimited real-time segmentation can be applied to this consolidated voice data, just as they are to data from other channels. This integration is crucial for understanding how voice interactions complement or influence other touchpoints and for applying consistent analytical methodologies across the entire customer experience landscape.
Capturing detailed metrics such as intent, user authentication, slots, parameters, and session length moves voice analytics far beyond simple usage counts or command logs. This level of granularity allows for a much deeper understanding of what users are attempting to achieve with their voice commands, how they interact with the voice application's conversational flow, and where they might be encountering difficulties or abandoning tasks. Such detailed insight is essential for optimizing conversational designs, improving the relevance and accuracy of voice-based services, and ultimately enhancing user satisfaction.
Cohort Analysis FAQs.
Understanding user behavior over time, rather than just at a single point, is key to measuring true engagement, retention, and the long-term impact of products and marketing efforts. Cohort analysis in Adobe Analytics is a powerful technique for achieving this longitudinal perspective.

- Subscription Conversion: Tracking the rate at which users of a free subscription or trial version upgrade to paid versions in the months following their initial sign-up.
- Complex Cohort Segments: Defining particular cohort groups using multiple metrics and segments for inclusion and return criteria. This allows for identifying underperforming customer segments that can be targeted with tailored promotions or interventions to improve performance.
- App Version Adoption: Comparing user engagement, retention, and churn rates across different mobile app versions to understand adoption patterns and identify if specific versions are driving users away or encouraging upgrades.
- Campaign Stickiness: Evaluating the effectiveness of various marketing campaigns in acquiring and retaining users over time by comparing campaign cohorts side-by-side using the custom dimension cohort feature.
- Product Launch Impact: The Latency Table setting is used to assess the impact of a new product launch on a specific customer segment's behavior and revenue by analyzing their pre-launch and post-launch activities.
- Identifying Most Loyal Users (Individual Stickiness): Pinpointing repeat purchasers on a month-over-month basis using the rolling calculation setting, and conversely, identifying customers who have churned or are not exhibiting repeat purchase behavior. These diverse use cases demonstrate the flexibility of cohort analysis in addressing critical business questions related to user lifecycle management, product performance assessment, and marketing effectiveness evaluation.
