Editing Setting up Event Tracking with our API wrapper (section)

== Step-by-Step Instructions ==
Setting up Event Tracking involves a sequence of steps to ensure that your API wrapper is correctly configured and working effectively. Below are the detailed instructions:

=== Step 1: Define Your API Credentials ===
First, you’ll need to establish your API connection by defining your API credentials. Start by including the following lines in your code:

```
define("ACTIVECAMPAIGN_URL", "https://ACCOUNT.api-us1.com");
define("ACTIVECAMPAIGN_API_KEY", "3693354bb1...04c2d126b9c");
require_once("../activecampaign-api-php/includes/ActiveCampaign.class.php");
$ac = new ActiveCampaign(ACTIVECAMPAIGN_URL, ACTIVECAMPAIGN_API_KEY);
```

Replace the placeholder values with your specific ActiveCampaign URL and API key, which can be found in your account settings.

=== Step 2: Set Up Your Tracking Details ===
After establishing your API credentials, you need to configure your tracking details. You do this by adding the following code:

```
$ac->track_actid = "764325673";
$ac->track_key = "oy5tbe34c564...69079d18abc";
```

You can find the '''account ID''' and '''key''' values on the '''Website > Site Tracking''' page of your ActiveCampaign account. Click the link that says '''Event Tracking API'''.

=== Step 3: Associate an Email Address (if necessary) ===
If you wish to track an event associated with a specific email address, include it by adding this line:

```
$ac->track_email = "test@test.com";
```

If you choose not to associate an email address, the event can still be recorded and will be available for creating segments later.

=== Step 4: Set Your Event Data and Submit the Request ===
Next, outline the data for your event and submit the tracking request using the following code:

```
$post_data = array(
    "event" => "event_name1", // e.g., "event_name2"
    "eventdata" => "event_value",
);
$response = $ac->api("tracking/log", $post_data);
```

Your response should resemble the following structure, indicating success:

```
stdClass Object([success] => 1 [message] => Event spawned [http_code] => 200)
```

Once this is complete, the event data will be reflected in your contact's Activity Stream on their Contact Record, enabling the use of this data for segment creation.
