Track Custom Events with Workflow

I am trying to use studio-analytics.track-custom-event command in Web inside a Workflow to gather some more stats about what the workflow is doing.

1. Is this possible to do with Studio Workflow?
2. If so, what is the correct syntax for the command parameter? I am not seeing anything in Analytics when I have it set up based off the Dev Center Argument notes.

Thank you!

  Hi Nelson

  Yes - this should work fine from Workflow. Wherever you want to log an event you should be able to use the Run Command activity with studio-analytics.track-custom-event command - and pass in a payload like:

  ={"name":"my event",
  "payload":"event 1 fired!"}

  When your workflow runs and passes this point - you'll see an entry in the Custom Events table like:

  With the current version of Analytics (1.1) - there is no way to filter for just "my event" - but with 1.2 (aiming for June) we have introduced Filters which will allow this.

  Hope this helps!

  Thank you @...!

  I was trying to add a little extra to the payload and not just a string.

  Thank you for clarifying, all is good and it's logging properly!
