Import Event Data

OVERVIEW

Import the data of the events performed by the users on your site. You can manually create the events’ data in an MS excel sheet. Further, you can upload the data of the events in the panel with the help of the CSV upload feature. NotifyVisitors allows you to create and track events so that you can further create segments and engage users based on their behavior.

Understanding Event Data

Events in NotifyVisitors are of the following types :

Custom events: Custom events are the events that you send to NotifyVisitors based on the users’ interactions on your site or app. Examples- Purchased, searched, or added to cart.

The custom events signify the event details such as who performed the event, at what time the event was performed, etc. The said events can also be categorized into custom and system attributes. System attributes signify the events such as the time and location of the event whereas custom attributes are considered to be the attributes of a custom event as item price of Purchase event.

System events: These are the events that are captured by the NotifyVisitors as soon as the SDK integration is done such as app install.
