↑ Back to topHow to track events from third party plugin?
For tracking any event you need four details:
Event name (required)
Event data (optional)
User ID (optional)
User’s data (optional)
Once you have these, you can use following code in any php file of that third party plugin.
<?php $event_name = 'sample event'; $event_data = array( 'title' => 'product title' ); $user_id = 5; $user_data = array( 'dob' => '01-01-1990' ); do_action( 'woocommerce_segmentio_connector_log_activity', $event_name, $event_data, $user_id, $user_data ); ?>
