Push notification for AB test Segment went out to all Players

Hey, just ran into and issue.

I used a task to send out a push notification to a segment of users that were in an AB test. But for some reason the notification went out to every player.

I looked at the Task Instance details and in the parameters it says "[Deleted]" next to the segment id.

{
    "SegmentId": "2050ED5827B53381 [Deleted]",
    "ActionId": "A985D6D0CB73EDED"
}

The AB test is still running and that is the segment Id that is for the bucket I wanted to send to, so not sure why it would be deleted?

Any thoughts on what happened? Or how I can send to a group of users by test bucket?

Thanks

You can refer to this thread: https://community.playfab.com/questions/16199/problem-with-daily-challenge-reset.html. It seems the same error that SegmentId is marked as Deleted. If you still have issues, please share the TitleId and we will investigate it.

That seems like they were having the opposite issue from me. The problem I am facing is that the task was run on ALL players instead of on the segment.

My TitleId is: 713F0

Sorry for my mistake. Actually A/B testing segments don’t support being selected as a segment in the Edit Scheduled Task page now. The Admin/API GetPlayersInSegment also doesn’t support A/B testing segment now. I’ve checked your Title. The task was truly completed successfully even though there was a [Deleted] after the SegmentId. After testing this feature in my own Title, I found the [Deleted] is always there, and it won't take real effects. The description about the use of A/B test is in this doc, under the title How PlayFab Supports A/B Testing. Actually you can only find tutorials of A/B testing with Stores and test buckets and A/B testing with Title data. You can check the second tutorial if you want to build your own solution with A/B testing. It will be more complicated than using it in tasks directly and need to write CloudScript. Sorry again for it confused you. It should be an issue that A/B Testing Segments appear in the drop-down list of Segment in the Edit Scheduled Task page. We will inform product team to investigate it.
