Example

This example describes how to send a VIEW event to Sitecore Personalize. The _boxeverq array receives an anonymous function. The anonymous function contains a VIEW event object. The eventCreate() function receives the VIEW event object and sends the event data to Sitecore Personalize.

_boxeverq.push(() => {
    const viewEvent = {
        browser_id: Boxever.getID(),
        channel: "WEB",
        type: "VIEW",
        language: "EN",
        currency: "EUR",
        page: "home",
        pos: "myretailsite/ireland",
    };

    // Send the event data to the server
    Boxever.eventCreate(
        viewEvent,
        response => console.log(response),
        "json"
    );
});
