Usage events & metrics

You can easily harness the power of usage data to delve into customer engagement with your app. Monitor metrics such as page views, clicks, and orders—any actionable event can be captured and transmitted to Mantle via the API.

Integrating this with your existing data within Mantle enriches your insights, offering a more dynamic perspective of your business and customer behavior.

A Usage event represents a distinct action by a customer, such as a page view within your app. You can record this information on Mantle either manually via the Usage event page or automatically through the API.

Usage metrics quantify these events, aggregating them into actionable data. For instance, if you’re tracking customer page views, each view constitutes an event, while the metric would be the total number of views (the count or sum) across all customers.

This action lets you generate a test event, offering a preview of how events are logged in Mantle’s system through the API.
