"Search event notification" indicates that a search has been performed and identifies which terms have been used. It notifies you, via JavaScript, when a visitor performs a search in your eCommerce by using the function connectif.managed.sendEvents.
This article is part of the guide to creating a custom integration.
If your integration is via a module, this tag will be added to your ecommerce platform automatically.
How to use it
The search event notification uses the entityInfooption in the sendEvents method to enrich the information about the sent events.
This event is an alternative when implementing the Contact has made a search" tag in your store or website’s HTML.
Report search event
This object represents the result of a search performed by a web visitor. It includes the following property:
| First name | Required | Type | Multiple | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| search | Yes | string | No | Text of the search performed. |
Example
The notification will look like this:
connectif.managed.sendEvents([
{type: "search", searchText: "something to find" },
{type: "page-visit"}
], { entityInfo, cart });
In the example, the page visited event, is also reported, to report both events with a single call to Connectif tracking.
