adobe.target.trackEvent() failing while getOffer() is working

Question

Hi,I am trying to track some CTAs and I am using trackEvent method for that. But when I am clicking on the button, the request goes into 400 status.The workaround to this I opted is to go for getOffer() method but just curious to see the reason behind failure of trackEvent method. Any help will be much appreciated. thanks!Below is the code -  el.addEventListener('click', function (e) {
                    e.preventDefault();
                    console.log("CTA clicked")
                    adobe.target.trackEvent({
                        "mbox": "carouselCTA"
                    });
                    // adobe.target.getOffer({
                    //     "mbox": "carouselCTA",
                    //     "success": function (offer) {
                    //         adobe.target.applyOffer({
                    //             "mbox": "carouselCTA",
                    //             "offer": offer
                    //         });
                    //     },
                    //     "error": function (status, error) {
                    //         console.log('Error', status, error);
                    //     }
                    // });
                    setTimeout(function () {
                        window.open(el.href, '_blank');
                    }, 1000);
                }); Target version - 2.3.2

Hi @khushboo_kalia

I tried the below code at my end seems is working fine for me with target version 2.7.0.

const el = document.getElementByClassName("hero_btn")[0];
el.addEventListener('click', function (e) {
                    e.preventDefault();
                    alert("CTA clicked")
                    adobe.target.trackEvent({
                        "mbox": "carouselCTA"
                    });
                    setTimeout(function () {
                        window.open(el.href, '_blank');
                    }, 1000);
                });

I can see there was some issues with version 2.1.0 for trackEvent function however that got fixed in later release so shouldn't be the problem.

If still having problem then it's worth to try to upgrade target version in lower environment and check again.

Hope this helps.
