Triggering Personalization rules anonymously | HCL Digital Experience

Procedure

To allow the rule to be triggered by unauthenticated users, go to the Personalization Navigator and grant the user role via Edit Access:

The rule can then be triggered via Invoke (POST) the Personalization ID rule call.

Example:

A visibility rule is leveraged via HTML and JavaScript to show or hide a div tag via a button.

HTML:

<div id='pzn'>Hello World</div>

<button type="button" id="myBtn">Check Visibility</button>

JavaScript:

document.getElementById("myBtn").onclick = () => {
        fetch("http://localhost:10039/wps/contenthandler/pzn-rest/rules/d0487383-8f4c-4831-912a-86ff5d981fdb/invoke", {
        method: 'post',
        body: '{}',
        headers: {
            'Accept': 'application/json, text/plain, */*',
            'Content-Type': 'application/json'
            },
        })
          .then((data) => {
            return data.json();
          }).then((res) => {
            if(res.result==='hide')
                document.getElementById("pzn").style.visibility = "hidden";
            else
                document.getElementById("pzn").style.visibility = "show";                  
          }).catch(err=>{
          // log errors
          console.log(err);
        })
      };
