Smart Groups in the Composition API now support placement of results from external sources, such as Retail Media Networks or recommendation engines. At query-time, external objectIDs can be passed and placed into predefined Smart Groups, with flexible options to preserve external ranking or re-rank using AI and Index Rules. In Merchandising Studio, users can preview Smart Group placeholders in the Visualize page and configure them in the Composition Rule Editor. This enhancement streamlines integration of external results, giving retailers and marketplaces more control, visibility, and impact on engagement and revenue. Click here to learn more.
