Events in Linkbreakers capture every meaningful interaction with your QR codes and campaigns. Learn how events work, what data they capture, and how to leverage event analytics for campaign optimization and visitor understanding.
Every QR code scan tells a story. Someone pulled out their phone, pointed it at your code, and decided your campaign was worth their attention. Events in Linkbreakers capture these moments of engagement, transforming anonymous scans into detailed interaction records that reveal who engaged, when they engaged, and how they moved through your campaigns.
Events represent individual instances of engagement with your campaigns. While visitors represent the people behind multiple interactions, events capture the specific moments when those people chose to engage with your QR codes, forms, and campaign workflows.
Each event serves as a digital breadcrumb in your visitor's journey. A single visitor might generate dozens of events across multiple campaigns, devices, and time periods. These individual event records aggregate into comprehensive visitor profiles while maintaining granular detail about specific interaction contexts and outcomes.
The event system captures both technical details necessary for campaign functionality and business intelligence that reveals campaign effectiveness. Technical data includes device information, network details, and system performance metrics. Business intelligence covers engagement quality, conversion tracking, and behavioral signals that indicate visitor interest and qualification levels.
This dual-purpose approach ensures events serve immediate operational needs while building comprehensive datasets that support sophisticated analysis, predictive modeling, and long-term strategic planning. Events provide the foundation for all Linkbreakers analytics while enabling real-time monitoring and automated response to visitor engagement patterns.
Linkbreakers tracks multiple event types that capture different aspects of visitor interaction with your campaigns and marketing infrastructure.
Scan events occur every time someone uses a QR code scanner to interact with your campaigns. These fundamental events capture the initial moment of engagement when visitors transition from passive exposure to active interaction with your marketing materials.
Each scan event records comprehensive context including the specific QR code accessed, the device used for scanning, geographic location, timestamp, and technical performance metrics. This information reveals not just that scanning occurred, but provides context about how, when, and where engagement happened.
Scan events include success indicators that show whether QR codes functioned properly, redirect performance metrics that reveal user experience quality, and error conditions that might indicate technical issues requiring attention. This operational intelligence ensures campaign reliability while building analytics datasets.
Network analysis within scan events captures connection quality, loading times, and technical performance that affects visitor experience. Poor performance metrics might indicate optimization opportunities or technical issues that could reduce campaign effectiveness if not addressed promptly.
Interactive campaigns involving forms, password protection, or multi-step workflows generate specific events for each interaction point, providing granular visibility into visitor behavior patterns and engagement progression.
Form events capture field-level interactions including form views, field completions, validation errors, and submission outcomes. This detailed tracking reveals which fields cause abandonment, how long visitors spend completing forms, and what information they're willing to provide in exchange for access or value.
Navigation events track progression through multi-step workflows, revealing where visitors advance successfully and where they abandon the process. Understanding flow progression helps optimize campaign design and identify friction points that reduce conversion effectiveness.
