Example: Simple binding
Because bindings couple the conditional processing of a profiler with the functional power of an action, the simplest form of a binding works like a conditional “if-then” clause.
For example: If the current user is not a previous customer, then show a limited number of current offers. If the current user is a known customer, then show offers appropriate to their status level.
In the example below, the profiler Customer Type is used to check whether the current user is a known customer. If the customer is not a known customer, the action Get Limited Number of Offers is executed. If the profiler indicates the user is a known customer with a status of Gold or Platinum, then a different action is executed and different offers are retrieved for display.
| When Customer Type is | |
| Not A Customer | |
| do Get Limited Number of Offers | |
| Gold or | |
| Platinum | |
| do Get Offers For User | |
