Variation Creation agent

  • Updated

Variation Creation is an Optimizely Opal agent that creates an experiment or personalization campaign and builds its variations.

  • Challenge – Building experiment variations by hand requires manual work in the visual editor for every page change.
  • Agent outcome – The agent creates the experiment or campaign, builds each variation, validates the changes, and returns a preview link.
  • Value – Teams launch tests faster and spend less time on repetitive variation setup.

Prerequisites 

To use the Variation Creation agent, ensure the following:

Install agent

Opal administrators, agent builders, and Opal users with the Add, edit, and install specialized agents  attribute for a custom role can add agents to their organization's Optimizely Opal instance. See Add users and set permissions.

Install the agent from the Opal Agent Directory.

  1. Go to Agents > Agent Directory.
  2. Select Variation Creation.

  3. Click Install Agent to add it to your Opal instance.

Use the agent

In Opal Chat, enter @variation_creation and provide the following details:

  • Project Name – The project name where the experiment or campaign exists or is built.
  • URL – Page URL.
  • Variation Count – Number of variations to build.
  • Instruction – Instruction for the variations to build.
  • (Optional) Name – Experiment or campaign name. When the name matches an existing experiment or campaign in the project, the agent adds the new variations to it.

The agent opens a visual editor session for each variation, applies the changes, saves them, validates the result, and returns a preview link for each variation.

To use the Variation Creation agent in a workflow agent, drag and drop it into your workflow. See Create a workflow agent.
