How to track clicks using web sdk

I am trying to manually track clicks on a website using adobe Target via Web SDK, Im used to use getOffer/Apply offer for custom click tracking, Im aware this does not work anymore on web SDK, but looking up for the documentation, it says that you can use adobe.target.sendNotifications() but is not working either, it throws an error saying that sendNotifications is not defined. How can I send a custom event then?

    Following with mi last question, I tried to configure an activity based on the custom mbox like this:

    and then, executing the code you provided on console:

    Even when the preview on console is showing the activity and its code, no code is being executed on the page, am I doing something wrong?


     

    Thank you for your help




    Yes, in the code I provided the if statement is empty: 

    if (result.propositions) { // Manually render propositions and send "display" event }


    So if you change it to the following then you'd see the response from Target output to console

    if (result.propositions) { console.log(result.propositions) }

     
    The idea with this custom mbox approach is that you write code that handles everything in the result.propositions response i.e., parse through the response and render the offer content in the appropriate location. If you don't want to do any of this manual work then you could use the default '__view__'  mbox and set up your activity via the Visual Editor Composer; the Web SDK would then take care of automatically rendering the response from Target

    This document gives a good overview of how at.js functionality translates to Web SDK, including event tracking

      Thank you @alexbishop  
      I assume, the correct way would be using the alloy sendevent function, but how the goal of 'View an mbox' from Adobe Target can be fullfilled with the sendevent funtion, woul this be correct?

      alloy ( "sendEvent" , {
        renderDecisions : true,
        data : {
          __adobe : {
            target : {      
              "track": {
                "scopes": "mbox-custom-name",
                "type": "click"
              }
            }
          }
        }
      } ) ;

        Hi @alexbishop 

        We are using xdm on the implementation, so with the code you provided, it would work as 'view an mbox' metric on targer (xdmClick)??


        Yes, exactly, the Metric configuration would look like this
