REST API
The ConveYour Analytics REST API is the lower-level HTTP API used in ConveYour's Analytics.js library and the ConveYour-WP Wordpress plugin.
What is it?
You use this API to add and update contacts in your ConveYour as well as record events that relate to a contact.
The API consists of two methods, identify and track.
It's a subset of ConveYour's larger REST API.

Track Method
Use the track method to record events on a given contact in ConveYour.
Let's say you have a contact, Jill, in ConveYour. Jill is part of your sales team and you want to keep a running tab of when she makes a sale and for how much. Maybe you want to send her a congratulatory text message when she hits 10 sales for the week.
You could do this by sending ConveYour an event through the track method.
Each event you send to ConveYour consists of a verb-based event name and some properties to give the event some fidelity.
Based on our Jill scenario.. Our event might look like this..
event : made_sale properties amount : 1000 customer : John Doe

}

}Passing Traits
To match up trait keys with existing fields in ConveYour, make sure to use your field's underlying name. You can get the underlying field name from a field's context menu in your settings.
Settings > Fields
Learn more about ConveYour fields located in settings >>
You can pass new traits that have not been added to ConveYour yet! However, we suggest creating the field first in settings/fields. (learn more from article linked above) Creating the field ahead of time let's you set the desired field format of text, number, date, list, etc. Note: if you do send new fields "on-the-fly" we will do our best to infer what type the field should be.
Updating List Fields
The tags field in ConveYour is of type list. You can make your own list fields as well.
Add or remove values on an existing list like this..
{
"tags": {
"remove": [
"tag1"
],
"add": [
"tag2"
]
}
}You can also increment an integer field value with..
{"counter" : { "$inc" : 1 } }Identify Multiple Contacts in One HTTP Call
You can mass add/update many contacts in ConveYour efficiently by passing us an array of identification objects (vs a single object).
Example...
[
{
"id": "20432766",
"traits": {
"first_name": "Jackie",
"last_name": "McDaniels",
"career_sales": 125000
}
},
{
"id": "20432721",
"traits": {
"first_name": "Charlie",
"last_name": "Wilson",
"career_sales": 50000
}
}
]IMPORTANT!
Make sure the properties.id value matches the id you use to identify contacts otherwise ConveYour will have no way to match events to a stored contact.
Keep your data manageable and actionable by limiting the number of properties you include in your event objects. Send only the data you need, please. We block storing event objects with more than 15 key/value pairs. Try to reuse property keys as often as you can. If you need help planning your analytics, please get in touch with us.
