Some examples of how to use analytics to collect various events on websites, servers, and apps.

To collect a custom click you can add the following to the anchor tag:

onclick="collectorQueue.push({event: 'custom_link_click_event_name'})"

If you want to collect a custom page view, like a successful checkout on the invoice page, you can add anywhere on the page:

<script>collectorQueue.push({event: 'custom_page_view_event_name'});</script>

All of our data gets stored in the database in a JSONField called "data". If you want to send more details with events you can add more data key-value pairs. As an example:

<script>collectorQueue.push({event: 'admin_page_view', data: {user_segment: 'admins'}});</script>

You can technically collect anything from anywhere by sending a POST request to the server with JSON data in the body. Make sure you include a valid collectorId, event, and data. As an example:

curl -X POST -d '{"collector_id": "PROPERTY_COLLECTOR_ID", "event": "custom_app_event", "data": { "app_id": "4" }}' YOUR_COLLECTOR_SERVER

Sometimes you may want to collect events from a server and you can send events using any http request library. For example, if using "requests" on Python:

requests.post('YOUR_COLLECTOR_SERVER', json={'collector_id': 'PROPERTY_COLLECTOR_ID', 'event': 'custom_app_event', 'data': { 'app_id': '4' }})
