Key Concepts
DataBlit is event centric and optimised for very large sets of data, this means that every action end users take in your source is tracked as an event. An event is a data point that represents an interaction between a user and your product. It can contain any number of custom dimensions, interactions or properties that you can set to track.
Event ingestion is the process of collecting and sending customer events from applications (Android, iOS, or web) to DataBlit.
Prerequisites-
- Basic understanding and access to your application's codebase
Events
Stores all user interaction events data, its own schema (based on events it sends) and a bunch of other metadata associated with the events. Events- item preview
Datablit SDK
In a nutshell, Datablit SDK tracks customer interaction about what’s happening in your site or app, transforms them and sends them to Datablit warehouse in real-time. Now you can use the data as per your business needs in different ways to deliver customer experience. Monitor performance, create uniquely customised user experience, launch campaigns, take business action, or develop long term strategy.
Source
A data source is any system, mobile apps, cloud apps, website or third party tools from which event data is collected, it represents the origin of customer data.
Context
A context refers to a portion of metadata automatically attached to a datapoint when it's sent by the SDK.
Properties
Properties are extra pieces of information you can tie to events you track. They can be anything that will be useful for your business. Datablit recommends attaching properties to the event and use that to create rules and signals.
