Tracking User activity & events in your Bubble app with LogSnag

Tracking User Activity in Bubble Apps with LogSnag

If you're looking for a quick and simple way to track your users in your Bubble apps, to track their events, to get basic analytic data about the actions they're taking in your app, then I wholeheartedly recommend LogSnag and I'm going to show you in this quick video how you can integrate it in with your Bubble app and start sending events that your users take into LogSnag.

Setting Up a Simple Button Press Tracking

Let's start off with a blank page here and all we're going to do for now is track a simple button press. So I'll call this button "Press this button" and then go to plugins and I add in the LogSnag plugin. I think I'll use this one here. Now you can integrate in with the API connector but they've provided the plugin for you so we're going to do it the quick and easy way and you can see here the plugin provides actions you can send an event or an insight. We're just focusing on events for now such as "user has clicked this button".

Configuring LogSnag in Your Bubble App

I then go into my LogSnag account and copy my API key and let's set up the workflow. So when this button is clicked I want to... where's LogSnag? There we go. So I have to choose a project and if I go into my account you can see I've got a project here so PNC - demo. I then have to choose a channel and that's just basically a way of grouping together your events so I've got a channel here of "user clicks button" and then I need an event.

Creating and Naming Events in LogSnag

Let's just check to see in the documentation what exactly do I do with events. So I can just name it whatever I want so I'll just call it "user click special button" here is a description. I think that's what I need to do so I can hit preview and then I press the button I go into LogSnag we can see that the user has clicked the button and it's now recorded in this channel here so if I was to click it again we see that it appears again.

Advanced Features of LogSnag

Now you can send all sorts of different types of data here if you want to create like an aggregation or a count or something you can use insights you can combine that with charts. I think that this is a fantastic product because it's so neatly laid out and just gets you those basic and simple analytics.

Using Push Notifications with LogSnag

Something that is also really cool to point out is that you can check notify and then you can download the LogSnag app onto your phone if you want to receive a notification a push notification when the user takes an action in your app.
