Use Event Manager and Event Log to organize your Events
The Event Manager is the command center for your Events, whether they are related to Shopify, system or custom. From here you can view the Events that have been preloaded for you or create your own.
From here, you can:
- Mark Events as Key Events. Key Events stand out in randomized colored highlights across the app, including Visitor Profiles and the Visitors’ Table
- Jump into the Event Log to see who triggered that Event over the last 7 days
- Add your own custom Events based on a URL, store element or API
Note: The Event Manager only displays Events that have been triggered before. If an Event has 0 occurrences in the Event Manager, it means that it hasn't been triggered in the past 7 days, but it has been triggered before. If you can't find an Event that should be there, it's likely because it hasn't been triggered yet.
