Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'forwardlytics'And then execute:
$ bundle
You need to set both FORWARDLYTICS_API_KEY and FORWARDLYTICS_URL environment variables.
FORWARDLYTICS_API_KEY is the API key you configured on Forwardlytics.
FORWARDLYTICS_URL is the URL to reach your instance of Forwardlytics.
Example:
FORWARDLYTICS_API_KEY=123ma
FORWARDLYTICS_URL=http://localhost:3000
Forwardlytics will do its work in threads, so if any exception is raised, it will be silent. We don't want that, so we made an exception handler. Here is how you could configure it in your project:
Forwardlytics.exception_handler = -> (ex) {
puts "Exception in Forwardlytics caught by exception_handler: #{ex}"
Bugsnag.notify(ex)
}For user identification:
Forwardlytics.identify(
user_id: 42,
traits: {
email: '[email protected]',
created_at: 1462183499,
some: 'thing?'
}
)For event tracking:
Forwardlytics.track(
event: 'Updated Alert',
user_id: 42,
properties: {
some_id: 123,
some_other_prop: "",
