Avoid errors and improve data quality in Adobe Client Data Layer

The Adobe Client Data Layer standardizes how data is structured and sent to Adobe’s tools, especially in dynamic environments like SPAs. However, misconfigurations or silent failures in the data layer can lead to broken reporting downstream. Trackingplan validates your Adobe Client Data Layer structure, helping prevent silent data loss.

COMMON PROBLEMS

Most common mistakes when using Adobe Client Data Layer

Incorrect Event Schema Structure

Challenge: Events pushed without required fields like component or data.

Impact: Events fail silently and go untracked.

Timing Issues in SPA Loads

Challenge: Events fire before Adobe libraries are ready.

Impact: Dropped or ignored events during navigation.

Invalid Component Hierarchies

Challenge: Malformed trees confuse structured analytics tools.

Impact: Broken relationships in content interaction data.

Silent Failures on Push

Challenge: Events with missing values don’t trigger alerts.

Impact: False sense of tracking accuracy and data loss.

Inconsistent Key Naming

Challenge: Variations like productID vs productId cause mapping issues.

Impact: Fragmented or missing data in reports.

Event Schema Validation

Tracks all pushes to the ACDL and checks them against the required Adobe schema.

SPA Event Syncing

Detects events that are pushed too early or too late relative to the SDK lifecycle.

Frequently asked questions about Adobe Client Data Layer

How do I know if Adobe Client Data Layer is working properly in my SPA?

Single-page apps often struggle with timing and sequencing issues in the Adobe Client Data Layer. Trackingplan shows you each event.push and its structure as it happens, and validates it against Adobe’s expected format. If an event is malformed, pushed too early or late, or never pushed at all, you’ll know instantly.

Why are some ACDL pushes not showing up in Adobe Analytics?

Silent failures are common when ACDL events are not properly structured or fired at the wrong time. Trackingplan surfaces these issues by highlighting pushes that deviate from your spec or that don’t trigger downstream analytics events—giving you full transparency and control over your data layer.
