In this article, we'l take a closer look at the Kameleoon integration and all the things you need to know when starting out. Here's what we'll cover:

Web Experimentation

To connect the Kameleoon integration, you need to fill in your client ID and Client Secret

If you don't know where to get your credentials, you can follow this link to find your Kameleoon details: https://help.kameleoon.com/api-credentials/

Once your connection is active, when creating experiment, you'll have the option to either create one from scratch or import an experiment from Kameleoon.

When you choose to import an experiment, you'll be prompted to map the Kameleoon goals to Effective Experiments goals. This is due to the goal differences between Kameleoon an Effective Experiments. See the Dynamic Goals vs Fixed Goals here

Once you've mapped your goals, you can proceed and your experiment will be imported & linked to Kameleoon.

To ensure your Kameleoon experiment is up to date within Effective Experiments, you can simply hit sync and you'll be guided through the syncing process.

The merging will consist of multi-step process in where you have to complete the relevant mapping and value selections.

You will have to map the following fields:

If by any chance, someone changes your Kameleoon Credentials on Kameleoon's side, the integration will be rendered disabled on Effective Experiments.

To get your integration to work again, you'll need to update your Kameleoon Credentials in Project Settings. Once you've updated your details to the correct ones, your integration will proceed to work as before. If you don't know the credentials, you can ask your team or alternatively generate a new key.

Kameleoon is not restricted to a single goal type meaning it's tracking all the possible fields and results during the course of the experiment. Effective Experiments uses set goals that each represent a combination of predefined fields. When you choose goals during import, you'll be asked to map a Kameleoon goal to a clearly defined Effective Experiments goal type. See the mapping below

Effective Experiments auto-maps the values to the goal you've chosen to report on, meaning you won't lose out on all the other metrics. If you later choose to map your experiment results to different goals types, you'll still have those additional fields data that have not been mapped.

See the mapping diagram below:

Effective Experiments does not yet support any time-based goals. To see a detailed breakdown of how Kameleoon fields are mapped to Effective Experiments predefined goal types, checkout the following article: Complete Kameleoon Goal Mapping

Kameleoon has the concept of isMainGoal which is similar to Effective Experiments' primary metric. Any other goal that's imported will automatically be classified as secondary as the other types are not yet supported within Kameleoon.

Positive success: Variation results higher than baseline ie. increased revenue

Negative success: Variation results lower than baseline ie. reduced cart abandonment

Due to Kameleoon not supporting negative success all their goals will be positive success by default. The best recommendation is to manage your negative success goals as standalone Effective Experiments goals meaning you should not map it to any Kameleoon goal or else it will be overwritten to positive success.
