Action — Track Event (Batched)

Batch Limits

This action uses batched requests to support high-volume data transfers to the vendor. For more information, see Batched Actions. Requests are queued until one of the following thresholds is met or the profile is published:

• Max number of requests: 1000
• Max time since oldest request: 10 minutes
• Max size of requests: 4 MB

Parameters

Parameter	Description
Event Name	(Required). Name of event.
Created At	Time event happened. Set to the time event was received if unspecified. Expects a Unix timestamp. If this field is not mapped, it will be initialized with the current timestamp.
Email	Either Email or User ID must be entered to identify the user. If both are entered, Email takes precedence.
Event ID	If an event exists with the entered ID, the event will be updated. If no Event ID is specified, a new ID will automatically be generated and returned. Note that this ID cannot be longer than 512 bytes.
User ID	User ID that was passed into the updateUser call.
Campaign	Campaign tied to conversion. See Introduction to Campaigns for more information about campaigns.
Project Template	Template ID. See Introduction to Templates for more information about templates.
Data Fields	Additional data associated with the event (Example: item amount or item quantity). For events of the same name, identically named data fields must be of the same type.
Template Variables	Provide template variables as data input (See Template Variables Guide). Name nested template variables with the dot notation (Example: items.name). Nested template variables are typically built from data layer list attributes.
Templates	Provide templates to be referenced in Body Data (see: Templates Guide). Templates are injected by name with double curly braces into supported fields (Example: {{SomeTemplateName}}).

Parameters

Parameter	Description
