Send and Track Events

In this section, we'll cover how to send events to the Suprsend platform for both iOS and Android application

Pre-requisites

1. Integrate react native SDK in android application
2. Integrate react native SDK in iOS application
3. Create User Profile
4. Create Template on SuprSend platform - if you want to trigger workflow by passing the event
5. Create Workflow on SuprSend Platform - if you want to trigger workflow by passing the event

Create Workflow on SuprSend Platform

For Event based workflow trigger, you'll have to create the workflow on SuprSend Platform.

Sending Events to SuprSend

Once the workflow is configured, you can pass the Event Name ( GROCERY_PURCHASED in above example) defined in workflow configuration from your SDK and the related workflow will be triggered. Variables added in the template should be passed as event properties

You can send Events from your app to SuprSend platform by using suprsend.track() method

//method
suprsend.track(event_name);
suprsend.track(event_name, properties);

//Sample values 
suprsend.track("grocery_purchased");
suprsend.track("grocery_purchased", {"item":"olive oil","amount":"$12"});

❗️

Naming Guideline

When you create an Event or a property, please ensure that the Event Name or Property Name does not start with $ or ss_, as we have reserved these symbols for our internal events and property names.

System Events tracked by SuprSend

There are some system events tracked by SuprSend SDK by default. These are some basic events, as well as events that are necessary for tracking notifications related activity (like delivered, clicked, etc).
You are not required to do anything here.

Advanced Concepts

1. Super Properties

Super properties are data that are always sent with events data. These super properties will be sent in each event after calling this method. Super properties will be stored in local storage, and will persist across invocations of app.

Set Super Property

There are some super properties that SuprSend SDK will send by default. Developer can set custom super properties as well with suprsend.setSuperProperties() method

//method
suprsend.setSuperProperties(key, value);
suprsend.setSuperProperties(property_obj);

//Example
suprsend.setSuperProperties("Location", "Banglore");
suprsend.setSuperProperties({"Location": "Banglore","Pincode": 1234567});

Default Super properties tracked by SuprSend SDK:

Unset Super Property

There are unset custom super properties with suprsend.unSetSuperProperty() method. This method will stop calling that property with every event trigger.

suprsend.unSetSuperProperty(key);

suprsend.unSetSuperProperty("Location");

2. Special Events

Special events are some best use case events defined by SuprSend. You could call these events with some of their pre-defined properties.

1. Purchase Made

You can call purchase made event if user is doing a transaction on your platform. You can pass property values like product id, product name, and amount in the event.

suprsend.purchaseMade(property_obj);

suprsend.purchaseMade({product_id:12,product_name:"Car", amount:12000})

3. Flush Events

SuprSend SDK automatically flushes events at an interval of 5 seconds, and on certain activities like app relaunch, etc.
If you wish to flush a time sensitive event to SuprSend immediately, you can use the suprSendApi.flush() method.

All the system tracked events are flushed immediately

suprSendApi.flush();
