Tracking Events
Understand the behaviour in your app by tracking and analysing events
Event Types
Laudspeaker supports the tracking a few different types of events.
These include default events, message events, and custom events.
Default Events
Default events are tracked everytime a user uses your brand’s app, and includes the following:
identify
We are in the process of adding:
start session
Message Events
When a user opens a push notification, or interacts with an in-app message we also track those interactions, and these events can be used in journeys to trigger messages, or in segments as additional filters.
Custom Events
You can configure the tracking of custom events in your application, that are unique or important to your business.
You can track a custom event by using the Laudspaker.fire function, which takes in an event as a parameter which is a string representing the name of your event and optionally a `payload“.
Example Implementation
Here’s an example with SwiftUI
import SwiftUI
import LaudspeakerCore
class LaudspeakerManager: ObservableObject {
let laudspeaker: LaudspeakerCore
init() {
laudspeaker = LaudspeakerCore(url: "https://laudspeaker.com/", apiKey: "[YOUR_KEY]")
}
}
struct ContentView: View {
@StateObject private var laudspeakerManager = LaudspeakerManager()
var body: some View {
VStack {
Button("Connect") {
laudspeakerManager.laudspeaker.connect()
}
Button("fire event") {
laudspeakerManager.laudspeaker.fire(event: "example_event")
}
Button("Get customerId") {
print(laudspeakerManager.laudspeaker.getCustomerId())
}
Button("Disconnect") {
laudspeakerManager.laudspeaker.disconnect()
}
}
.padding()
}
}
struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
ContentView()
}
}
