Trigger Events Programmatically

How to programmatically trigger engagement & conversions events in AnyTrack.

Once you have added the AnyTrack tag on your webpage, a programmer can trigger programmatically any event via the following scripts:
<script>
  // trigger an outbound click event
  var click_id = AnyTrack('OutboundClick');
</script>
The event name could be any standard event name AnyTrack supports:
PageView
OutboundClick
FormSubmit 
Lead
CompleteRegistration
Purchase
The return argument is the event {click_id} as string (for example: MAbFl0fhrE5EfBu6fX0FnL02LfS), and it can be used later on to attribute conversion events.
Event Details
If needed, it’s allowed to provide more details about the event in the following format:
<script>
  var click_id = AnyTrack('FormSubmit', {
    id: 'my-link-id', // link id
    url: 'https://apple.com/referral', // the target link url
    label: 'iPhone X', // link label
    brand: 'Apple', // product brand name
    value: 2.99 // event monetary value / commission 
    currency: 'EUR', // optional currency (default to propery currency)
    transactionId: 'XJW0047' // transaction id
  });
</script>
All fields are optional, but the data provided can be useful if you want to create your custom audiences with quality content.
Full Code Example
<button type="button" onclick="handleBuyMe">Buy Me</button>
​
<script>
// handle the button click event
function handleBuyMe() {
  // generate the click id
  var click_id = AnyTrack('OutboundClick', { label: 'Buy Me' });
  
  // redirect the browser to the store location with the click id param
  window.location = 'https://some-store.com/?sub1=' + encodeURIComponent(click_id);
}
</script>
