Custom Event (<tracking:custom-event/>)

Add metadata and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to your flow through a custom business event.

Name Expression / Value

employee-id

#[payload['ID']]

employee-email

#[payload['Email']]

employee-git-id

#[payload['GITHUB_ID']]

price

700

price-after-discount

#[vars.price]

order-id

#[payload.order.header.orderID]
