This technical integration guide is intended for Adobe Consultants, Adobe Partners, and other experienced implementation specialists. Configuring this integration requires a full understanding of the implementation process for each individual solution covered in this guide.
Adobe customers can contact Adobe Professional Services or an Adobe Partner to learn more about this integration.
A server-to-server call from Target to Analytics sends the campaign and experience information to Analytics. The visitor ID service is used to track the visitor across both the Target and Analytics platforms. This results in a much better uniformity of data between the two solutions.

- Sometimes, other metrics will show by default and not Lift and Confidence. You need to deselect these other metrics and add unique visitors.
