PushPROS (API) Functions
Below are some useful JavaScript functions that will allow you to create more targeted notifications, which creates a better experience for your subscribers:
Tracking Attributes:
To track attributes on a user (for instance, store their first name), call this JavaScript method:
_webpushTrackAttributes( {attributes} );
We can use this to store a single attribute, like a user’s first name, like so:
_webpushTrackAttributes({
"first_name":"Joe"
});
Or we can use it to store multiple attributes, like a user’s first name, age, and favorite animal, like so:
_webpushTrackAttributes({
"first_name":"Joe",
"age":"42",
"favorite_animal":"Ring-tailed lemur"
});
Tracking Events:
If we want to track events on a user, we would use:
_webpushTrackEvent( category, action, optional_label, optional_value );
For instance, let’s say that a user is on our site, and they clicked on a button that links to an article on our blog site. We could call:
_webpushTrackEvent( "Website", "Clicked", "Blog", "Super Exciting News" );
This is incredibly useful because we can segment users in useful ways, such as:
- Users on our Website who Clicked the ‘Super Exciting News’ Blog
- Users on our Website who Clicked any Blog link
