Events

Events serve as the core components of any Trend Chart. Events are triggered when end users perform any action on the Whatfix content, widgets, or the application.

There are two types of Events:

  • Default events
  • Custom events

Default events: This category includes all events triggered when end users perform actions on Whatfix content or widgets within the application. To view the complete list of available Whatfix-related events, see List of Whatfix-related Events.

Custom events: This category includes User Actions, other events captured using the Whatfix API, and more.

Info

Whatfix enables you to group Default and Custom events and form an Event group. These Event groups can be visualized using Trend Insights.

Event Filters and Breakdowns

Events, both Default and Custom, contain Filters so that you can drill down the events based on different criteria. Whatfix enables you to group the events according to various properties using the Breakdown option. Event Filters and Breakdowns ensure limiting the scope of the Event as needed to obtain granular Insights. For example, track the number of users who completed a Flow called Onboarding triggered from any source.

Info

For more information on Event Filters and Breakdown, see Filter events using Event Filters and Breakdown in Trend insights.

User filter

User filters enable you to limit the scope of the events based on different criteria. For example, for the Flow start event, refine results to show data only for those who triggered it from the Chrome browser or from a specific location.

For more information on User filters, see User filters and User breakdown in Insights.

User breakdown

User breakdowns enable you to group users to display data based on various properties. For example, consider the Flow completed event with User filter set as Chrome browser. Configuring the User breakdown as City, displays the chart based on the location from which users completed the Flow using Chrome browser.

For more information on User Breakdown, see User Filters and User Breakdown in Insights.
