An event represents an action performed by an end user within your application. Each event includes contextual data that helps you analyze and understand end-user behavior.

Events can be tracked using different methods and then analyzed to extract meaningful insights.

Types of events

  • Guidance events or Default events: These events are automatically captured by Whatfix when end users interact with Whatfix content or widgets.
    For more information, see List of Whatfix-related events.

  • App events or Custom events: These events are user-defined and enables you to capture end-user behavior on the application. They include User Actions and events captured using Whatfix API.
