# How to Create a Persona

On this page, you can learn how you can set up the Personas in Umbraco Engage.

## Introduction

Before setting up a Persona, it is recommended to read the [Personas article](/umbraco-engage/marketers-and-editors/personalization/implicit-and-explicit-personalization/setting-up-personas.md) in the **Implicit and Explicit Personalization** section.

Below you can find some resources on how to define a persona:

* [How to create a Persona in five steps](https://www.figma.com/resource-library/how-to-create-a-persona/) by Figma

Once you have defined your persona, you can create it in Umbraco Engage.

You have now set up your personas and can score your [content](/umbraco-engage/marketers-and-editors/personalization/implicit-and-explicit-personalization/content-scoring.md), [campaigns](/umbraco-engage/marketers-and-editors/personalization/implicit-and-explicit-personalization/campaign-scoring.md), and [referrals](/umbraco-engage/marketers-and-editors/personalization/implicit-and-explicit-personalization/referral-scoring.md) against these personas.

## Advanced persona group parameters

If you want to tweak the working of the persona scoring in-depth, you can go to the advanced settings of a persona group.

These settings are shared between persona groups and customer journey groups. See [Persona and customer journey group settings](/umbraco-engage/marketers-and-editors/personalization/implicit-and-explicit-personalization/persona-and-customer-journey-group-settings.md) for details on each setting and how to fine-tune them.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-engage/tutorials/how-to-create-a-persona.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
