🎮Recommended Events for Gaming Apps

Track and react to user behavior with easy-to-integrate recommended events for gaming apps

Below, you'll find a bunch of in-app events recommended for your app category. We based our choice on industry-specific best practices and experts' advice. By tracking these selected events, you can improve your behavioral segmentation and perform more effective, user-centric messaging campaigns.

To implement any of these or other events:

• create the Event in your Pushwoosh Control Panel, add attributes if needed;

• integrate the postEvent method into your mobile project providing the event name and attributes names are exactly the same as in the Control Panel.

JavaScript

// To use with Web Push SDK, you can integrate this code:

const Pushwoosh = window.Pushwoosh || [];
Pushwoosh.push(function(api) {
    api.postEvent("Event name", { // event name exactly as in Control Panel
    "attribute 1": "string value", // attribute name and type exactly as in Control Panel
    "attribute 2": "string value" // attribute name and type exactly as in Control Panel
  });
});

Swift

// To use with iOS SDK, you can integrate this code:

let attributes: [String : Any] = [
   "attribute 1" : "string value", // attribute name and type exactly as in Control Panel
   "attribute 2" : "string value" // attribute name and type exactly as in Control Panel
]
PWInAppManager.shared().postEvent("Event name", withAttributes: attributes) // event name exactly as in Control Pane

Objective-C

// To use with iOS SDK, you can integrate this code:

NSDictionary *attributes = @{
   @"attribute 1" : @"string value", // attribute name and type exactly as in Control Panel
   @"attribute 2" : @"string value" //attribute name and type exactly as in Control Panel
};
[[PushNotificationManager pushManager] postEvent:@“eventName” withAttributes:attributes]; // event name exactly as in Control Panel

Java

// To use with Android SDK, you can integrate this code:

TagsBundle attributes = new TagsBundle.Builder()
    .putString("attribute 1", "string value") //attribute name and type exactly as in Control Panel
    .putString("attribute 2", "string value") //attribute name and type exactly as in Control Panel
    .build()

PushwooshInApp.getInstance().postEvent("Event name", attributes); // event name exactly as in Control Panel

The samples below can be simply pasted into your app, provided there is a corresponding Event and its attributes are created in your Control Panel. Once integrated, the event data will be collected and become available in Audience -> Events -> Event statistics, and you will be able to use the event in campaign planning.

• Level completed

• Virtual currency earned
