Discover [Raptor](https://www.raptorservices.com/) integration - an add-on that is focused on recommendations for your visitors.

## What is Raptor integration

The [Raptor integration](https://doc.ibexa.co/en/saas/recommendations/raptor_integration/raptor_connector/index.md) provides a seamless integration between Cohesivo and the Raptor recommendation engine.

Its primary goal is to enable editors and managers to deliver personalized experiences across digital channels, which helps to increase conversion rates, drive sales, and improve user engagement.

By bringing content and recommendations together, the connector makes it easy to build and manage personalized experiences.

This approach simplifies integration while supporting personalization across different sites and markets.

## Availability

To use the Raptor integration, you must first make arrangements with Ibexa.

## Raptor tracking

To start [tracking](https://content.raptorservices.com/help-center/introduction-to-tracking-documentation) user interactions, the tracking script needs to be added to the website’s layout.

## Capabilities

### Tracking

Raptor tracking allows you to collect data about how users interact with your products and content.

This gives you the data you need to better understand user behavior, improve recommendations, and support personalization.

### Recommendation blocks

The Raptor integration add-on provides a set of ready-to-use recommendation blocks that can be added directly in the [Page Builder](https://doc.ibexa.co/en/saas/content_management/pages/page_builder_guide/index.md).

These blocks can be configured to adjust how they work and what they display. Content, Product, and Commerce recommendations can be placed on landing pages using these components.

Editors can use these blocks to display tailored product recommendations, promote related content, and highlight items that are trending or recently viewed.

Recommendation blocks are organized into dedicated categories, each grouping blocks based on the type of recommendation they provide:

- **Recommendations: Content** - presents content recommendations:
  - [Content that has been seen along with the item category](https://doc.ibexa.co/projects/userguide/en/6.0/recommendations/raptor_integration/raptor_recommendation_blocks/#content-that-has-been-seen-along-with-the-item-category-block)
