Quick Start

Step 1: Create an account and add your first destination

After having created your account and chosen your project name at app.datatoggle.com, click New Destination to create your first destination.

On this documentation, select the chosen destination in the left panel (Destinations category) to see how to configure it. Most of the time, you just have to indicate an API key provided by your destination.

Once configured, enable your destination by clicking on Enabled then Save Settings.

Step 2: Install Datatoggle SDK on your website

  1. Datatoggle is available as a npm package, install it with
npm install @datatoggle/datatoggle-sdk
  1. On your website, initialize the datatoggle sdk using
import datatoggle from '@datatoggle/datatoggle-sdk'

datatoggle.init('DATATOGGLE_API_KEY')

You will find your API KEY on the Project Overview section of app.datatoggle.com

Step 3: Identify users

The identify method is how you tell Datatoggle who the current user is. It includes a unique User ID, and any optional traits you know about them.

datatoggle.identify('5v2h4d5tyhv24', {
    name: 'Jon Thompson',
    email: 'jthompson@gmail.com'
})

Step 4: Track actions

The track method is how you tell Datatoggle about the actions your users are performing on your site. Every action triggers what we call an “event”, which can also have associated properties.

analytics.track('Item purchased', {
  item: 'Chair-4624',
  price: 39.99
});

You are now ready to collect data and send it to your destinations
