Simple event binding:
All you need to do is to bind an event on your website. For example, a user clicks on a button which automatically registers the event and sends the data to the system:
<a href="#" onclick="userengage('event.name_your_event_here')">CLICK ME!</a>Adding Attributes to events
If you want to add an attribute, you can do so by simply setting the second parameter:
<a href="#" onclick="userengage('event.name_your_event_here', {'price': '10'})">CLICK ME!</a>If you want to add more attributes, you can do so by setting the second parameter as an object:
<a href="#" onclick="userengage('event.name_your_event_here', {'sku': '7', 'size': '39', 'color': 'teal', 'price': '39'})">CLICK ME!</a>Adding attribute types
It's essential to create all of the event attributes with specific types before sending them through users' browsers or REST API. Sending events with events attributes without defined event attributes will result in all of the attributes created as string types, except the JSON field.
Secondly, follow the template below:
<a href="#" onclick="userengage('event.app_created', {
'sku': 7,
'size': 39,
'color': 'teal',
'price': 39
})
/>As you can see above, only one of these attributes is a string, and others as just numbers.
