Understanding Events in Airbridge

    Each and every user responds differently to advertisements. While some opt for premium subscriptions, others delete the app even before signing up. This is why marketing success hinges on understanding the variety of user behaviors and identifying essential performance indicators. By tailoring your marketing strategy to match individual user characteristics, you can deliver the right message to the right person at the right time, significantly increasing conversion rates.

    Airbridge enables you to define critical user actions as events and track them across apps and websites. The data collected is visualized through a range of charts and tables, allowing for efficient measurement and optimization.

    How to Define Events

    Events are defined using properties such as Event Category, Event Action, Event Label, Event Value, Semantic Attribute, and Custom Attribute.

    Events are categorized as either Standard Events or Custom Events. Standard Events are Airbridge’s event presets that are always supported by Airbridge’s latest updates. Custom Events are fully configurable by Airbridge users.

    Every event you define is compiled into a single comprehensive document according to the event taxonomy, ensuring consistency in Airbridge’s data collection across apps and websites.

    How to Track Events

    Integrate the Airbridge SDK to your app and website. Then, configure the SDK to track the events you defined in the taxonomy. Once the Airbridge SDK is initiated, it will automatically collect the event data.

    Additional setup for hybrid apps

    To track events from WebViews in a hybrid app, you need to integrate the Airbridge Web SDK and make additional configurations. In addition, specific settings must be configured within the app.
