Add and edit JavaScript in the variant of your new experiment

Requirements​

  • access token

To use the Automation API, you first need an access token.
Follow the instructions in this section to retrieve it programmatically.

Goal​

Once the experiment is created, update its variant (Variation 1) with:

Kameleoon.API.Core.runWhenElementPresent("#bloc-567, .cta-button, #bloc-789", function(elements) {
  document.querySelector(".cta-button, #bloc-789").innerText = "More new text";
});

Then change the text to "Updated Text". See this documentation for code details. We’ll use the Partial Update Variation endpoint.

Requirements​

  • access token

To use the Automation API, you first need an access token.
Follow the instructions in this section to retrieve it programmatically.

  • variationId and experimentId

Find them by selecting Experiment_1 in the dashboard:

1. Inject the JavaScript code​

Endpoint:

PATCH https://api.kameleoon.com/variations/{variationId}
NameTypeDescription
jsCodeStringJavaScript code to update.

--data-raw '{
  "experimentId": 283505,
  "jsCode": "Kameleoon.API.Core.runWhenElementPresent(\".cta-button, #bloc-789\", function(elements) { document.querySelector(\".cta-button, #bloc-789\").innerText = \"Text\";});"
}'

2. Verify the code injection​

Check the Code Editor for Variation 1:

Variation1_dashboard Variation1_code

3. Update the code​

-H 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
--data-raw '{
