These days, many R applications collect data from users in one way or another. This can be a simple form that contains some basic information such as name, email, and phone number. Or it can be a more complex form that collects information such as a user's address, credit card information, and more.
Most interactive R applications have some form and are commonly the primary way users interact with the application. Therefore, it is essential to track when a user submits a form in your R application and monitor whether the form submission is successful or whether the user has encountered an error and has not been able to submit the form.
In many cases, a minor problem in the form submission can cause a user to abandon the form and not complete the form submission. This can be a significant problem for your application as it can cause a considerable loss of revenue and user experience.
Fortunately, here at Palzin Track, we have created a powerful solution for this problem. Palzin Track is a powerful, real-time event tracking tool that works seamlessly with any R application. With Palzin Track, you can set up event tracking for anything you want and track when a user submits a form in your R application in real time. You may also set up optional rules to notify you and your team when a user has encountered an error and has not been able to submit the form.
In addition, Palzin Track allows you to track user journeys and create a timeline of events for each user. This way, you can always track the activity of a specific user, such as when they have submitted a form and any other activity they have done in your application.
Use the following code snippets to integrate Palzin Track with your R application. Please don't forget to replace the YOUR_API_TOKEN with your API token and update the project and channel names.
Using R with httr
library(httr)
headers = c(
'Content-Type' = 'application/json',
'Authorization' = 'Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN'
)
body = '{
"project": "my-project",
"channel": "forms",
"event": "Submitted Application",
"description": "User has submitted a form application",
"icon": "📰",
"notify": true
}';
res VERB("POST", url = "https://api.palzin.live/v1/log", body = body, add_headers(headers))
cat(content(res, 'text'))
Using R with RCurl
library(RCurl)
headers = c(
"Content-Type" = "application/json",
"Authorization" = "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
)
params = "{
\"project\": \"my-project\",
\"channel\": \"forms\",
\"event\": \"Submitted Application\",
\"description\": \"User has submitted a form application\",
\"icon\": \"📰\",
\"notify\": true
}"
res postForm("https://api.palzin.live/v1/log", .opts=list(postfields = params, httpheader = headers, followlocation = TRUE), style = "httppost")
cat(res)
