Record events

Recording Custom Events

To record custom events call the record method:

1Analytics.record({ name: 'albumVisit' });

Record a Custom Event with Attributes

The record method lets you add additional attributes to an event. For example, to record artist information with an albumVisit event:

1Analytics.record({
2  name: 'albumVisit',
3  // Attribute values must be strings
4  attributes: { genre: '', artist: '' }
5});

Record Engagement Metrics

Data can also be added to an event:

1Analytics.record({
2  name: 'albumVisit',
3  attributes: {},
4  metrics: { minutesListened: 30 }
5});

Metric values must be a Number type such as a float or integer.

Record Events Immediately

The Amazon Pinpoint & Kinesis providers send events in batches to optimize network bandwidth. However, events can be sent immediately using the immediate flag.

1Analytics.record({
2  name: 'albumVisit',
3  immediate: true
4});
