Bento on Rails
Track events, update data, record LTV and more in Ruby. Data is stored in your Bento account so you can easily research and investigate what's going on.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'bento-sdk', github: "bentonow/bento-ruby-sdk", branch: "master"
If you have a Rails project create an initializer called bento.rb with the following:
site_id = "YOUR-SITE-ID"analytics = Bento::Analytics.new(write_key: site_id) # to use Analytics.track() globally across your application!
Or, if you fancy, just boot it up via:
analytics = Bento::Analytics.new(write_key: "YOUR-SITE-ID")
Then go wild tracking events!
# track a single eventanalytics.track(identity: {email: "[email protected]"}, event: '$action', details: {action_information: "api_test"})# update a users custom fieldanalytics.track(identity: {email: "[email protected]"}, event: '$update_details', custom_fields: {favourite_meal: "bento box"})# tag a visitoranalytics.track(identity: {email: "[email protected]"}, event: '$tag', details: {tag: "customer"})# track a unique event and add LTV (example below tracks $12.34 USD)analytics.track(identity: {email: "[email protected]"}, event: '$payment', details: {value: {amount: 1234, currency: "USD"}, unique: {key: 123456}})# track a pageview server-sideanalytics.track(identity: {email: "[email protected]"}, event: '$view', page: {url: "api_test", title: ""})
Tracking: All events must be identified. Anonymous support coming soon!
Tracking: Most events and indexed inside Bento within a few seconds.
Gem: You can stub out events by adding ENV['STUB'].
