Server-Side Events

For server-side tracking, the visitorId field can be omitted. Identity is resolved from the event data, including customer-only attribution when customerId is provided:

Identify events: Use email and/or userId fields, plus optional customer context
Custom events: Include top-level email, userId, fingerprint, and/or customerId fields

{
  "source": "server",
  "events": [
    {
      "type": "custom",
      "url": "server://user@example.com",
      "path": "/",
      "eventName": "payment_received",
      "email": "user@example.com",
      "userId": "usr_123",
      "customerId": "cust_123",
      "properties": {
        "amount": 99,
        "currency": "USD"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Server events require identity or account attribution. Custom events need at least one of email, userId, fingerprint, or customerId; identify events need email or userId.

Batching Best Practices

For high-volume tracking:

Batch events - Send multiple events per request (up to 100)
Use background queue - Don’t block user actions
Retry with backoff - Handle temporary failures
Flush on shutdown - Send remaining events before exit

// Example batching implementation
const eventQueue = []
const FLUSH_INTERVAL = 5000
const MAX_BATCH_SIZE = 100

function track(event) {
  eventQueue.push({ ...event, timestamp: Date.now() })
  
  if (eventQueue.length >= MAX_BATCH_SIZE) {
    flush()
  }
}

async function flush() {
  if (eventQueue.length === 0) return
  
  const events = eventQueue.splice(0, MAX_BATCH_SIZE)
  
  try {
    await fetch('/api/i/v1/pk_xxx/events', {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
      body: JSON.stringify({
        visitorId: getVisitorId(),
        source: 'client',
        events
      })
    })
  } catch (error) {
    // Re-queue failed events
    eventQueue.unshift(...events)
  }
}

setInterval(flush, FLUSH_INTERVAL)
window.addEventListener('beforeunload', flush)
