​Email personalization widgets are required to show the most relevant products that match the content of the email. For example for a general newsletter we would like each user to see products that match their funnel state and interests while in a post purchase email you would like to show direct cross sell items that match the recent purchase. In a different scenario you would like to send the newest products of a specific brand to the brand fans.
​
In order to support the different use cases, Barilliance offers a set of recommendation types to choose from. Here is a list of the different types and their meaning.

This is the default recommendation type. Using it is recommended in most standard use cases
Runs through the user history and looks at purchased, viewed and cart items to decide what are the best recommended products for the user. the recommendations are cached for 24 hours from the email open time so when the user will get the next weekly email they will see new recommendations but if they open the email again in the same day they will see the same recommendations.

Barilliance can add attributes to products based on the product feed such as color, brand, (year - for wines) etc... Recommended items based on product attributes allows creating custom widgets for example of 'Red Nike Shoes'. The algorithm will give precedence to best sellers or items close to the visitor interests.

Selecting these will filter the products and show only products marked as new/sale etc...
