Event Management

The Upshot React Native SDK provides comprehensive event tracking capabilities to monitor user interactions and app usage.

What is an Event?

Any action performed by the user in the application that is of interest for analytics and improving the app/user experience is an event. Every time such an action occurs, the details of this action are recorded in Upshot.ai as an event.

Examples of Events

• Any button tap
• User making an in-app purchase
• User visiting any particular screen, like "settings"
• User set game difficulty to 'easy'

Dispatch Frequency

Events are dispatched to the server within a time interval of 10secs to 120secs. You can choose the frequency at which events should be dispatched. By default, events are dispatched to the server once in every 60 secs.

import Upshot from "react-native-upshotsdk";
// Set dispatch interval (in seconds)
Upshot.setDispatchInterval(60);

Event Types

1. PageView Events - Track screen views and navigation
2. Custom Events - Track specific user interactions
3. Attribution Events - Track campaign and attribution data
4. Session Events - Track app sessions and user engagement

Getting Started

To start tracking events, ensure you have:

1. Initialized the SDK
2. Configured event tracking in your application

Best Practices

• Track meaningful events that provide actionable insights
• Use consistent naming conventions for events
• Include relevant properties with each event
• Validate events in development environment
• Monitor event data quality regularly
• Close timed events properly to ensure data integrity

Validation

You can validate PageView and Custom events in the Dashboard Live Events section to ensure your events are being captured correctly.
