Viewed Page

Customer viewed a page on the website

Type: Activity Transformation

SELECT

where e.event = 'pv'

WARNING: Snowplow doesn't actually guarantee that event_id is unique. If you capture and insert the event_id into another table, you will see that the same event_id is reused. We recommend that you concatenate the collector_tstamp with the event_id to create a unique id.

Processing Configuration:

  • Run After: Started Session
    Why? Setting this transformation to run after the session will ensure that page views will be used to define sessions only AFTER the identity resolution is applied.


Started Session

Started Session is derived from page views and it occurs one second before the first page view in that session.

A new session will be recorded if there are 30 minutes of inactivity between two page views.

    where e.event = 'pv'
) AS s

WHERE date_diff ( 'minutes' , last_ts , s.ts ) >=30

Processing Configuration:

  • Depends On: Viewed Page
    Why? Every time the viewed page activity's definition is updated or the transformation is resynced it will also update the started session activities


Enriched Pages

Enriched Pages transformation to generate an enrichment table for Viewed Page and Started Session activities.
