Target "trackEvent()" equivalent for Alloy?

Greetings!

I'm currently testing the Web SDK (Alloy) to handle everything related to Target.
Most of my activities are written form based and currently I'm struggling to find something similar to the old school "adobe.target.trackEvent()" function to count e.g. simple clicks of a button.

Normally I would write something like this:

 

adobe.target.trackEvent({ "mbox": "click-mbox" });

 

How would i write the same via Alloy?
I found this in the documentation (https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-platform/edge/personalization/adobe-target/web-sdk-atjs-comparison.html%3Flang%3Dit#how-to-track-events), but to be honest I don't really get it.

I understand that we are now using

 

alloy("sendEvent", { … });

 

but i couldn't figure out where to pass the "click-mbox" value.

Am I missing something? Thank you in advance! 🙂

Hi @christopherha14 

As per example above "click-mbox" is the mbox name. 

 

When you're using the WebSDK, you can use 

  • decisionScopes: which retrieve specific activities (useful for activities created with the form-based composer) by adding this option to your events.

if you look at the terminology, 

Scope: The scope of the decision. In Target, the scope is the mBox. The global mBox is the __view__ scope.

So in your above example you can add mbox name like below. 

 

 

alloy("sendEvent", { renderDecisions: true, xdm: { ...}, decisionScopes: ["click-mbox"] });

 

 Hope this helps.
