Intents

This section covers how to configure, manage, and use intents to classify visitors.

Information about the visitor and the visitor's actions contribute to a score. For example, if the visitor has triggered a certain signal, that might add 10 to the a specific intent score. Personalization might be applied as long as the visitor's score for this intent does not exceed 25.
