Creating an Adobe Magento connection
- Click Connections in the BlueConic navigation bar.
- Click Add Connection.
- A pop-up window appears. Enter "Magento" in the Search bar.
- Click Magento connection.
The Adobe Magento connection page opens. You can expand or collapse the metadata fields (favorite, labels, and description) by clicking the gray chevron at the top of the page. - In the metadata section you can choose whether to get email notifications when the connection runs or fails to run.

Configuring an Adobe Magento connection
In the side bar on the left are a number of tabs. There is a setup section and there are import goals. Goals can be activated or deactivated with the checkbox in front of the name. Multiple goals can be added by using the Add goal button at the bottom of the page. You can delete or copy goals by hovering over them and selecting the "x" or copy icon.
Setting up the Adobe Magento connection
- Select Set up and run in the Setup section in the left panel.
- Enter your Adobe Magento credentials in the Authentication section:
- Save your setup.
To make the connection work, you have to add at least one import goal, save your settings, and switch the connection on. In the goal, you specify how data from Adobe Magento should be linked and mapped to BlueConic.
Importing data from Adobe Magento to BlueConic
Click on a goal to open its tab and see the configuration options for that goal. You can edit the name of the goal at the top of the goal configurations.
1. Link identifiers between Magento and BlueConic
In order to match Magento customers to BlueConic profiles, you must match the Magento ID to an identifier in BlueConic.
When the import is run, each customer is matched to a BlueConic profile. If no matching profile can be found, BlueConic can create a new profile based if you explicitly allow the creation of new BlueConic profiles.
2. Import customer sales data
Select at least one of the sources you want to import data from; Magento contains customer data and sales data.
3. Magento customer data to BlueConic mapping
Determine how selected customer fields from Magento should be mapped to profile properties in BlueConic. Select the Magento field on the left and the BlueConic profile property on the right. You can also determine how to import the data: set always, only set if empty, add items to the list of existing values, or sum a number with an existing number.
Add extra mapping rules with the Add mapping button, or hover over a rule and click the "x" icon to delete a rule.
4. Magento sales data to BlueConic mapping
Same as above, but this time determine which sales field from Magento will be mapped to which profile property in BlueConic. Also determine how to import the value: "set" always, only "set if empty", "add" items to the list of existing values, or "sum" a number with an existing number.
Add extra mapping rules with the Add mapping button, or hover over a rule and click the "x" icon to delete a rule.
Running the Adobe Magento connection
Use the settings in the Run history section of the Set up and run page.
Note: After your initial connection run, the connection will only import data that has been added or changed since the last import.
See Scheduling connections for information on running the connection.
Privacy management
Connections can be added to Objectives, allowing for privacy management of the information that is being picked up. A connection will only process the profiles of visitors who have consented to at least one of the objectives that the connection is linked to.
