Auto Capture Events are events that Twinalyze tracks automatically from your website or app. This helps you start analytics faster without manually writing tracking code for every basic user action.

​
How auto capture works

1

Install SDK

Add the Twinalyze SDK to your website or app.
2

SDK detects user actions

Twinalyze automatically detects supported actions based on the platform.
3

Auto captured events are sent with event name, source, timestamp, and properties.
4

Manage events in dashboard

You can view, search, enable, disable, or hide events from the dashboard.

​
Event controls in dashboard

If you disable an important event, related reports may stop showing complete data. Change event status only when you are sure.

​
Auto capture vs custom event

Auto capture tracks common behavior. Custom events track actions that are unique to your business.

​
When to use custom events

Use custom events when the action is important for your business and cannot be fully understood through auto capture. Common custom event examples:
Start with auto capture first. Then add custom events for your most important business flows.

​
Best practices

Events like page views, screen views, app foreground, app background, and sessions are important for basic analytics.
Use readable names like purchase_completed, payment_failed, or signup_completed.
Let auto capture handle common actions. Use custom events only for important business actions.
Keep important events visible so your team can use them in reports and dashboards.
