Site activity tracking using Generate event

You can pass and save events from your website from your backend system directly to our system using the Generate event v2 method. Also, if you configured integration with a recommendation system, you can save the data in both services.

To make a request, send the following parameters in the request body to https://esputnik.com/api/v2/event:

Parameter

eventTypeKey

Required parameter. Event type ID key. If no such event type exists with such a key, a new one is created.

keyValue Optional. The key of the event, which determines its uniqueness. If you don't pass a keyValue's value in the event, it is automatically taken from the request's Params object with such a priority:
  • contactId;
  • externalCustomerId;
  • email;
  • phone;
  • pushToken (web or mobile).

 

An event without one of these parameters or a passed keyValue value is not accepted.
