Data Sources: Install and Test

Send a test event

Events are identified in EventStream by the tealium_event attribute. For our test event, we will send an event called search.

Using the GET method, our test event URL looks like this (line breaks added for readability):

https://collect.tealiumiq.com/event?
tealium_account=your_account
&tealium_profile=your_profile
&tealium_datasource=abc123
&tealium_event=search

The corresponding code in Swift (iOS) might look like this:

var tealConfig = TealiumConfig(
    account: "your_account",
    profile: "your_profile",
    environment: "prod",
    datasource: "abc123")

let tealium = Tealium(config: tealConfig)

// Tracked event "search" automatically results in:
// tealium_event : "search" in the event data
tealium?.trackEventWithTitle("search", dataSources: [:])

Great! Let’s go to the next step to see how to observe those test events on the Live Events screen.
