Insight

🚧
By default, page view events are tracked via Pelcro’s SDK. There is no need to trigger a custom event for every page view. Any interaction with our modals, meter, or any view that Pelcro displays (if enabled) are automatically tracked and reported to your dashboard. If you are not using our default flows, then you might want to continue reading to learn how you can trigger custom events and properties.

`Pelcro.insight.track(eventName, options)`

Programmatically capture event using code. In this example, an event named “Button clicked” is triggered.

Example

window.Pelcro.insight.track("Button clicked");

You can also add custom properties to the event.

Example

window.Pelcro.insight.track("Button clicked", {
    "name": "Facebook like",
    "color": "Blue"
});

Default properties added with all captured events

Event/action type
Country
Region
Scroll percentage

OGP tags (article:tag, article:section, etc) - learn more here

You can only make this call if the user is authenticated.
You will receive a data object containing the auth key and the public key

window.Pelcro.integrations.disqus.getToken((error, response) => {

    return console.log("error", error.message);
  }

  const {disqus_auth_key, disqus_public_key} = response.data;

It's calculated in the JS-SDK based on the free articles limit specified for the website, and the users' visits to that particular website. It returns an object that contains this data: count_of_articles_read, count_of_articles_left and count_of_articles_limit.

FAQ

What should I do if I want to use Pelcro's SDK only without the UI?

Simply replace the UI environment property with empty whitespace.

window.Pelcro.environment.ui = " ";

How do I deal with errors coming from calling Pelcro's SDK methods?

Requests will be validated by the API using server-side validations. Error messages returned by the API are accessible as follows:

window.Pelcro.user.login({
    email: "[email protected]",
    password: "INVALID_PASSWORD",
}, (error, response) => {
    if (error) {
        console.log("error", error.response.data.error.message); // "Invalid credentials! Please try again."
        console.log("error", error.response.data.error.status); // 404
    }
})

API status for errors will be either 4xx or 5xx depending on the severity of the error. Validation errors will be 4xx while server errors will be 5xx.
