Adobe Analytics is a powerful tool for collecting and analyzing call data in order to better understand the customer journey. CallRail's integration with Adobe Analytics gives you insight into how your visitors find and interact with your website allowing you to market with confidence.

Activating Adobe Analytics
There are a few steps you’ll need to take before can you integrate your Adobe Analytics account with CallRail. The first part takes place in the Developer console.

- Click Add API.
- Choose Adobe Analytics.
- Choose JWT (JSON Web Token) as your authentication.

- Choose the desired product profile(s), then click save configured API.
- On the following page you'll see four pieces of information you will need to activate the integration:

The last item you'll need is the report suite ID, which you can find in the Admin console. You can learn more about report suites in this Adobe Analytics support article.

- You'll see a "Report Suite ID" column that contains the value you need to set up the integration.

Viewing your call data in Adobe Analytics
We send call data as contextData to Adobe Analytics. ContextData can be turned into anything: success events, conversion variables, etc. To do that, your team must have processing rules configured in your Adobe Analytics account. Please follow Adobe’s guide to learn how to configure processing rules to ensure call data from CallRail can be used in your reports.
Important
Processing rules do not apply retroactively, so any call data sent to Adobe Analytics before processing rules are in place cannot be used in reports.
Deactivating the integration
Deactivating a company's Adobe Analytics integration will prevent CallRail from sending data to your Adobe Analytics account. We'll keep your Adobe Analytics credentials saved in case you'd like to reactivate your integration in the future.
- Click the Settings icon on the left navigation bar.
- Choose the company where you'd like to deactivate the integration.
- Click Integrations at the top of the page.
