Note

You can not use "moe_" as a prefix while naming events, event attributes, or user attributes. It is a system prefix and using it might result in periodic blacklisting without prior communication.

 

Types of Events

Events are generally generated from two ends:

  1. Webhook - These events are generated at the Shopify end and sent to MoEngage using the Webhook.
  2. Web SDK - These events are generated by MoEngage's Web SDK based on user behavior on the website. For more information, refer to Web SDK events.

The sample payloads for both these kinds of events are shared below.
