| Viewed Filters |
A user browsing on a category page usually sees content filtered on that specific category. However, they haven’t clicked on or interacted with that filter. In scenarios where a user sees filtered content without interacting with that filter, you send view events. Sending a view event captures the filters a user sees when viewing filtered content without having actively filtered it. |
| Send Events |
Send a batch of events. |
It’s recommended to use the Kotlin API client, which is better suited for Android development.
The Insights tool can help capture users’ activities to help you understand what they like or dislike. For example, you can capture user activities whenever they view, click on, like, favorite, bookmark, or buy a particular item.
By capturing these activities, you can implement changes that offer users more personalized search results.
Sending events is a required step for using several Algolia features.
How to capture activities
You have a couple of options for capturing activities:
- Use the Insights REST API to push events to Algolia.
- Send events with the
insightsmiddleware widget.
