Short answer

How can I check if my Optimizely experiment is set up right?

Your AI pulls your current experiment details, audience lists, and event configurations to look for mismatches. You'll get a clear view of whether your target segments and conversion goals actually align with your test logic.

Validation outcomes.

Where your audit lands.

The AI scans your Optimizely configuration to find these specific results.

AUDIT

Configuration check

The AI compares your experiment settings against your defined audiences. You'll see if the targeting logic is actually sound.

MATCH

Event alignment

The AI verifies that your conversion events are active and correctly mapped to the experiment. This ensures you'll actually capture data when the test runs.

ERROR

Mismatch detection

The AI flags instances where an audience is missing or an event isn't firing as expected. You get a list of specific things to fix.

HUMAN

Manual review

The AI identifies the specific IDs or names that look wrong. You then go into the Optimizely UI to make the final adjustments.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI uses direct access to your Optimizely data to run a cross-reference check.

  3. Verify conversion goals

    The AI checks your event list to ensure the goals you want to measure are correctly configured.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my experiment settings?

    No. The AI can only read your experiment, audience, and event data to find errors. You have to make all changes manually in Optimizely.

  • 02

    Can it fix a broken conversion event?

    No. The AI will tell you that an event is missing or misconfigured, but it cannot edit the event itself.

  • 03

    Does it see all my Optimizely data?

    It only sees the data it needs to answer your specific question, based on the tools provided.

  • 04

    How does it know if an audience is used?

    It pulls the experiment details and compares the audience IDs in the test to the full list of audiences in your account.

  • 05

    Can I use this to create new audiences?

    No. This specific setup is for verifying existing configurations, not for creating new ones.
