I was trying to convert my custome code rule data collection to AEP web SDK. how to replace the _satellite.track() call in AEP web SDK

Question

var iframe = document.querySelector('iframe[src*="vimeo"]');
var player = new Vimeo.Player(iframe);
var cent, counter25 = 1, counter75 = 1, retVal, flag = 0;
var isVideoEnded = false;

player.on('timeupdate', function(data) {
cent = data.percent * 100;
isVideoEnded = false;

if (0.04 <= data.seconds && data.seconds <= 0.90 && flag === 0) {
flag = 1;
_satellite.track("video_start");
}

if (Math.floor(cent) === 25 && counter25 === 1) {
_satellite.track("video_25");
counter25++;
retVal = true;
}

if (Math.floor(cent) === 50 && counter25 === 2) {
_satellite.track("video_50");
counter25++;
}

if (Math.floor(cent) === 75 && counter75 === 1) {
_satellite.track("video_75");
counter75++;
}

if (data.seconds === data.duration) {
_satellite.track("video_end");
counter25 = 1;
counter75 = 1;
isVideoEnded = true;
}
});

player.on('pause', function(data) {
if (!isVideoEnded) {
_satellite.track("video_pause");
}
});

Maybe I am missing something, but _satellite.track() calls the Rule that actually creates the tracking call... why can't you just change those rules that you are calling to use WebSDK instead of AppMeasurement?

WebSDK rules still need triggers to know when to run... and _satellite.track() is the trigger....

You're right, _satellite.track() is just used to manually trigger a rule by name. It doesn’t care whether the rule sends data via AppMeasurement or the Web SDK. So if you're already using_satellite.track("video_25"), and that rule fires a Beacon with AppMeasurement, you just need to update the action part of the rule to use the AEP Web SDK instead.No need to replace_satellite.track() in your Vimeo code. Keep using it as the trigger, just ensure the corresponding rule in Launch is set to use "Send Event" with Web SDK instead of the legacy Adobe Analytics action.So basically:Keep_satellite.track("video_start") and others in your code.Go into Launch --> find the rules with those event names.Update the actions to use "Send Event" with AEP Web SDK.That should do it, let me know if that helps!
