Cordova/PhoneGap Custom Events for Analytics

Follow

Hi Keenan,

Custom events are supported with the Urban Airship PhoneGap plugin. While we don't currently offer a direct method to create a custom event, we do offer a method to run actions in our actions framework which can be used to create a custom event.

To trigger the custom event action you'll use the runAction() method. Here's our documentation on that.

For example:

var event = { 
"event_name": "User event occurred", 
"event_value": 1.00 
} 
UAirship.runAction("add_custom_event_action", event)

The event value is optional and the "add_custom_event_action" is the key that our SDK will recognize to create the custom event.

AHA! Perfect, thanks!

Version 6.2.0 of the Urban Airship PhoneGap/Cordova Plugin now includes a direct method for adding Custom Events. 

var event = {
    "name": "Event name",
    "value": 123.45
}

UAirship.addCustomEvent(event)
