Each Scenario defines a particular application of the recommendations at your website, mobile app or in emailing.
Item properties describe the products or content that you want to recommend to the users. You can define various types of properties that are analyzed by the content-based recommendation models. In addition to that, you can also use the data in your Filter or Booster rules. Data can be delivered using a Catalog Feed or the Recombee API.
User properties (optional) contain data about your users. Data can be delivered using the Recombee API.
Interactions between Users and Items are the most important data for the recommender system, as the collaborative filtering models learn various relations from them. You can send them using the No-Code Widget, Client-Side API, Server-Side API, or Segment Integration.
Scenarios define a particular application of a recommendation at your website, mobile app, or email. They may be homepage-featured, watch-next, read-next, similar-products, emailing-after-purchase, or others. Each Scenario is of a particular recommendation type. The type can be for example: a recommendation for a particular user, recommendation of related items, or a personalized full-text search. You can also apply various settings to each Scenario.
Recommendation Logic specifies the desired behavior of the recommendation model. We have prepared different Logics for various use-cases that you can choose from.
Business Rules are used to filter or boost items based on their properties. We provide a library with frequently used Rules that you can apply out-of-the-box - and start using immediately. You can also specify your own Rules using our intuitive Recombee Query Language (ReQL).
Constraints allow you to configure how items with shared conditions may repeat within the recommendation results.
You can integrate recommendations using our No-Code widget, our Widget SDKs, or API SDKs in the programming language of your choice.
