Event Tracking

Event tracking is the practice of collecting user actions as discrete events for measurement and ad-platform optimization. It is an industry-standard concept; in AnyTrack it spans both the browser and the server, so the actions that matter — from a page view to an offline sale — all become trackable signals you can attribute and send onward.

  • Event — a single collected action (the unit). Event tracking is the practice of collecting those actions. One is the activity; the other is its output.

AnyTrack tracks events on two surfaces. Client-side, the Tracking Tag collects PageView, OutboundClick, and FormSubmit automatically, and event snippets add custom ones like button clicks or video plays. Server-side, webhooks, postbacks, and API integrations collect events the browser can’t see — Lead, Purchase, Upsell, offline conversions — recovering signal lost to ad blockers and privacy restrictions. Each tracked event carries event attributes and, when designated as a conversion, is forwarded to every connected ad platform via the Conversion API.

Does AnyTrack event tracking work client-side or server-side?
Both. The Tracking Tag collects client-side events automatically (PageView, OutboundClick, FormSubmit) and event snippets add custom ones; webhooks, postbacks, and API integrations collect server-side events (Lead, Purchase, Upsell). Every tracked event is forwarded to connected ad platforms via the Conversion API.
