Track Events in Prodio

Using Data Attributes

To enable events, simply add a special data property to the element you want to track.

For example, you might have a button with the following code:

<button id="signup-button">Sign up</button>

Add a data property with the following format:

data-Prodio-event="{event-name}"

Your button element would now look like this:

<button id="signup-button" data-Prodio-event="Signup button">Sign up</button>

When the user clicks on this button, Prodio will record an event named Signup button.

You can optionally pass along event_data with the data-Prodio-event-* annotation:

<button 
  id="signup-button" 
  data-Prodio-event="Signup button"
  data-Prodio-event-email="bob@aol.com"
  data-Prodio-event-id="123">
  Sign up
</button>

The additional properties will result in:

{ email: "bob@aol.com", id: "123" }

being recorded with the Signup button event name.

Note:

• Event data cannot be sent without an event name.
• All event data will be saved as strings using this method. If you want to save event data as numeric, dates, booleans, etc., use the JavaScript method below.
• Other event listeners inside the element will not be triggered.

Using JavaScript

You can also record events manually using the window.Prodio object. To accomplish the same thing as the above data-* method, you can do:

const button = document.getElementById('signup-button');
 
button.onclick = () => Prodio.track('Signup button');

In this case, Prodio will record an event named Signup button.

If you want to record dynamic data, refer to the Tracker functions in the Prodio documentation.

Once your events are recorded, they will be available on your website’s Events page.

Your custom data can be accessed under the Properties tab on the Events page. This section will show you all the custom data properties you saved, as well as a breakdown of all the values.
