Data Collection

Before the Salesforce Interactions SDK can begin capturing data, initialize the Salesforce Interactions SDK and gain the user’s consent to track their activity.

If your site has an existing consent management platform, integrate its signals with the SDK's init function to confirm the user has granted permission to track.

For more information, see Initialization and Consent

Once initialization is complete, you can track a user's actions by sending an interaction object within the sendEvent() function's payload. The name field of the interaction specifies the type of action that occurred.

This is the foundation for understanding user behavior, tracking conversions, and personalizing the user experience.

To identify a user or update their profile attributes, send a user object within the sendEvent() function's payload. This is essential for building a unified profile of your customer across different sessions and devices.

When capturing profile data, you aren’t limited to that minimal interaction format. You can combine any of the interaction data models with profile information to collect as much context for an event as possible.
