How to create events?

Events track and profile subscribers based on their interaction with your website. Events have attributes and they can track specific behaviors, including their timing and frequency.

To find the Events section, go to Automation > Events.

What do I need to track Events on my website?

An event can be registered by Web Connect code embedded on your website. To track events you will need to add it to your website source code.

Note: If you direct people to your pages using message links in your newsletters, the JavaScript code snippet you pasted into your page source code identifies them automatically. If your visitors come from other websites where they leave their email address — for example, form submission pages, newsletter sign-ups, registrations, logins, purchase page details — you need to include additional JavaScript code to pages where your customers leave their emails:

Script that identifies customers email

GrTracking('setUserId', $customerEmail)


Example:

GrTracking('setUserId', 'user@example.com');

Script that tracks specific events and assigns them to the email

GrTracking('setEvent', $customEventName, $customEventAttributes)


Example:

GrTracking('setEvent', 'myCustomEvent', {'visitTime':(new Date).toISOString(), 'rankNo':'123333', 'websiteName':window.location.href, 'isProspect': 'true'});
