Stories

A "Story" in CXF is a piece of digital content that represents a blog article or another structured content type. Each "Story" follows a template that defines the attributes and taxonomies that should be included in it. Attributes may include elements such as the title, slug, rich text or HTML body, and a blurb. These "Stories" are used to describe information that occupies a significant portion of a page in the CXF implementation.

Furthermore, within a "Story," metadata is defined according to the Open Graph protocol to ensure that when sharing a blog article, a thumbnail and preview are generated correctly on social networks and other media.

"Stories" can be related to other objects in the following ways:

  • Story Templates: "Stories" are based on templates that define specific attributes and taxonomies they must contain. This allows for a consistent structure for different types of "Stories," such as blog entries, event descriptions, courses in an elearning platform, and more.
  • Content Bundles: "Stories" can be grouped within a "Content Bundle" to facilitate management and delivery through a single HTTP request. This enables the efficient organization and delivery of related content.
  • Contact Activity Logging: When a contact views a "Story," their activity is logged, allowing for contact profiling based on their interaction with the content. This information is valuable for customizing the contact's future experiences.
  • Contact Attributions: "Stories" can also be attributed to contacts by assigning specific attributes or points on labels when the contact interacts with the "Story." This contributes to a more detailed contact profile and facilitates subsequent segmentation.

 

In summary, "Stories" in CXF are flexible content components that adhere to a structure defined by templates and are used to represent information in a variety of implementations, from blogs to event descriptions and online courses. Additionally, metadata is defined according to the Open Graph protocol to ensure proper presentation when sharing content on social networks and other media. "Stories" are designed to enhance personalization and segmentation by enabling precise tracking of contact activity and attribution of relevant information.
