Client-side event tracking for Sitecore 9.x

XdbTracker is a simple API that allows you to trigger events / goals and outcomes through Javascript. The events are automatically associated to the user's current session and current page.

Usage

// Trigger built-in "login" goal
xdbTracker.triggerEvent('{66722F52-2D13-4DCC-90FC-EA7117CF2298}');  

// Trigger built-in search event with search term as data
xdbTracker.triggerEvent('{0C179613-2073-41AB-992E-027D03D523BF}', 'my search term');

// Trigger the "Product Purchase" outcome with a monetary value
xdbTracker.triggerOutcome('{9016E456-95CB-42E9-AD58-997D6D77AE83}', 'USD', '9.99');

Usage is simple:

• Create and deploy a PageEvent or Goal in Sitecore and copy it's ID
• Trigger the event through JS using the ID as seen above

Setup

• Reference track.min.js in your layout (its only ~380bytes) <script src="/sitecore modules/web/xdbtracker/track.min.js"></script>
• Copy binaries and files from the Release ZIP folder to your webroot or integrate them into your build

Technical details

The tiny track.min.js will POST events to the track handler /sitecore modules/web/xdbtracker/track.ashx as they are triggered. Track.ashx is session-aware and will automatically assign the events and outcomes to the current interaction and page. Check the source code for more details.

Compatibility

XdbTracker has been tested with Sitecore 9.0, 9.1 and 9.2. It might also work on 8.x but that has not been tested.

FAQ

tracker.ashx is returning "Please provide a valid EventId"

You have probably not deployed your goal/event or you have used a wrong ID.
