Event Library
In KISSmetrics, there are two types of events. Those that can easily be set up from within KISSmetrics and those that need help from a developer or engineer. The Event Library is perfect for the easy ones that you can set up right now without constantly adding code to your site.
The Event Library allows you to create, edit and delete events without involving your developer to make code changes. It makes use of your site’s JavaScript code, which can be found in your site settings. So once this initial KISSmetrics code is on each page of your site, the events in your Event Library will start recording data.
Event List
Go to the page https://www.kissmetrics.com/wizard to see a list all of your events. They are grouped into two categories: Events Created By You and Events Tracked Via API.
Events Created By You
These are your events being actively tracked in the Event Library.
Events Tracked Via API
There are three types of events listed here:
- Events that our automatically tracked from having our initial KISSmetrics JavaScript code on your site.
- Old Event Library entries that have historic data, but are not actively tracking current user behavior.
- Events you pass in from another data source: a server-side API, our Database Sync tool, CSV import, or one from of our other integrations.
Creating a New Event
You can create events in the Event Library based on three user actions:
- When someone Visits a URL, meaning they saw a particular page.
- When someone Clicks On an element in your site: a particular button, a link, or something else.
- When someone Submits a Form to provide you information. This could be a form for collecting lead-gens, subscribing to your newsletter, or something else.
How often does the Event Library update my JavaScript file?
Creating new events in the Event Library means you’ll be able to start tracking live data within the next minute.
