It’s unclear to me from reading round in the forum what can be sent in the “value” for a custom event.
The docs seem to indicate that it can only be a floating point value. Is this correct or can strings or more complex structures be sent?
Also, where in the reporting interface can these values be found? I can see the events but can’t find the values even for events with only float values.
The value of an event is an optional argument that can be used to track the revenue of the event. It’s limited to a numerical value since it’s intended to track the conversion value of an event, and increments the hs_analytics_revenue property when the event is associated with a contact. The following articles discuss custom events & the JavaScript Events API, respectively:
At first glance, it may not be apparent as to why you would want to use a JavaScript or HTTP API Event. You can do pretty much the same thing using the other Event types, right?
