Engage.addToEventQueue(type, eventData[, extensionData])

The addToEventQueue() function saves any event with a valid payload to the event queue. After you call this function, you can run the event queue using processEventQueue() or empty it using clearEventQueue().

Here's an example of how to use the addToEventQueue function to save events to the event queue.

In this scenario, we add different events to the event queue depending on whether a site visitor clicked a dropdown menu and a dropdown menu item.

In the following order, either the DROPDOWN_CLICK then the DROPDOWN_ITEM_CLICK events are added to the event queue, or the DROPDOWN_CLICK then the DROPDOWN_ABANDON events are added.

  if (clickedDropdownItem) {
    engage.addToEventQueue("DROPDOWN_ITEM_CLICK", eventData);
  } else {
    engage.addToEventQueue("DROPDOWN_ABANDON", eventData);
  };

  engage.processEventQueue();
};
