Features

Development and Production enviroments

The plugin will configure the enviroment of the batch events according to the NODE_ENV used. If NODE_ENV is equal to production it will create a production batch of events, otherwise it will use a development batch.

User identity

User attributes are saved as the user id, supported interfaces and voice platform (only Alexa for now)

Device information

Device information is gathered like device manufacturer (only Amazon for now), language and country.

Session information

Session id and timestamps are added automatically to the batch when the session starts and ends.

Navigation events

State transitions are added as navigation events when the transition happens.

Custom events

You can add any custom events inside your Voxa states. You will have the mParticle plugin available in your voxaEvent. You can pass a custom event string and custom attributes as an object.

To add any custom events you can use it like this:

const someCustomAttributes = {
  example: true
}
voxaEvent.mParticle.addCustomEvent("CustomEvent", someCustomAttributes);

Saving events

The plugin will automatically send events at the end of each request or at the end of the session.
