How can I replicate the trackEvent from at.js behaviour with webSDK?

Question

Hello community,

I´ve recently moved an adobe target setup to webSDK but one feature i´m struggling to replicate in webSDK.

In at.js I had some custom goals deployed with the function trackEvent and I used that as conversion goals for some activities (viewed an mbox). But in webSDK I´m not finding out how to do the same thing. I have reviewed documentation and found that I need to send a normal alloy("sendEvent) request with some options but that does not work in my case or I´m not doing it right. Also I found the documentation quite ambiguous in this aspect.

How can I deploy the same event tracking capabilities in webSDK setups? What I want to achieve is to send an event when for example some process is completed (I cannot use URL) and use that event as a "viewed an mbox" goal for my activities.

For extra information: I do not have Adobe Tags so I have implemented Target with Google Tag Manager and alloy.js.

Thank you a lot!

I'm guessing you've seen this example already? A more simplified version of that example, if my event tracking mbox is called "conversionTest", could look something like this:

alloy("sendEvent", {
  xdm: {},
  decisionScopes: ['conversionTest']
}).then(function(result) {
  var propositions = result.propositions;
  if (propositions) {
      for (var i = 0; i < propositions.length; i++) {
          var proposition = propositions[i];
          if (proposition.scope === "conversionTest") {
              alloy("sendEvent", {
                  xdm: {
                      eventType: "decisioning.propositionDisplay",
                      _experience: {
                          decisioning: {
                              propositions: [{
                                  id: proposition.id,
                                  scope: proposition.scope,
                                  scopeDetails: proposition.scopeDetails
                              }]
                          }
                      }
                  }
              });
          }
      }
  }
});
