📱Recommended Events for Mobile Apps

Track and react to user behavior with easy-to-integrate recommended events for mobile 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 an Event in your Pushwoosh Control Panel and add attributes if needed;

  • integrate the postEvent method into your mobile project, providing the name of the event and its attributes exactly as they are in the Control Panel.

// 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
  });
});

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.
