This function fires a request to report user actions, such as clicks and conversions. It does not deliver activities in the response.
These event-tracking mbox calls can then be used to define metrics in activities. For more information, see Success Metrics and Track Conversions.
Here are the API details:
Key | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
mbox | String | Yes | Mbox name Note: If a trackEvent() call is fired with an mbox name that has already fired on the page, the SDID of trackEvent() is reset and will be different than the Target calls on the page. However, firing a trackEvent() call with a different mbox name keeps the trackEvent() call’s SDID consistent with the Page Load Request/triggerView() calls on the page. |
