This feature allows you to send custom events and associated metadata directly to your configured Analytics service provider (e.g., AppsFlyer, Facebook)

Prerequisites

[Action] Natively - Send Custom Event

• Event name - The unique identifier that will appear in your Analytics dashboard. (e.g., user_onboarded, checkout_started)

• Event data - A JSON object containing custom parameters and values you want to send with the event

Usage Example (Bubble Workflow)

1. In your workflow, add the action: Natively - Send Custom Event.

2. Provide the Event name.

3. Provide the Event data as a JSON object (must be valid JSON). Example:

{
  "user_id": "12345",
  "screen": "home",
  "duration_seconds": 45,
  "is_premium_user": true
}

Result:

The event and its custom parameters will be recorded in your Analytics dashboard.

JavaScript SDK

Use the natively.analyticsTrackEvent() method to send the event name and a JavaScript object containing the custom data.

Example:

// 1. Define custom parameters using a Map
const eventData = new Map();
eventData.set('user_id', '12345');
eventData.set('screen', 'home');
eventData.set('duration_seconds', 45);
eventData.set('is_premium_user', true);

// 2. Send the event
natively.analyticsTrackEvent('button_clicked', Object.fromEntries(eventData));
