Add Custom Event
See the sample example of how a custom event can be added. Links to more detailed instructions can be found at the end of the article.
How this example works
In this example, we will create a sample custom event to trigger the previously created achievement.
Try yourself
Add a transaction Endpoint:
POST /api/{storeCode}/customEvent
{ "event": { "type": "app_login", "eventDate": "2024-05-01T00:00:00", // add current time "customerData": { "email": "[email protected]" } } }
This action should trigger
MemberAchievementProgressWasChanged
webhook
The webhook will be triggered each time there is progress made towards the achievement's goal, not only when the achievement is completed.
In this example, the custom event would have to be sent each day over the span of 7 days for the member to complete the previously set up achievement.
Endpoints used
This method allows creating a new Custom Event in the system.
