What the data layer does
The data layer is a standardised way to pass information about your user’s activity between different web applications. It uses a JavaScript object in the browser to expose details about what your users are doing in realtime, meaning different software applications can listen and react to data across different sources.
To use this data typically a Tag Manager (e.g. Google Tag Manager or Tealium) is used to pass data variables between different sources, for example preezie journeys can pass information directly into your Google Analytics.
When switched on, preezie passes journey activity data in realtime to your website’s data layer. For example,
journey answer text, e.g. Budget = “$200-$300”
product recommendations, e.g. Most ranked #1 = “Nike Air Jordans”
journey triggers, e.g. CTA = 80% of new user completions

What it can be used for
All of the data created by the preezie journey can be shared in realtime with any of your other relevant software applications. For example,
Send your journeys answers directly into Google Analytics, e.g. what is the AOV of users looking for Organic products?
Send preezie answers to your ad retargeting platform, e.g. create an audience based on all users who are buying a gift for their partner
Analyse which preezie trigger captures the most new user email addresses, e.g. report by trigger count of new user email submits
