Event
Definition
A tracked action that occurs in your application or website.
In Plain English
Events are like timestamps in a security log—recording what happened and when.
Real-World Example
Button clicks, form submissions, purchases, and video plays are all events you might track.
Why It Matters for Your Work
Events let you understand user behavior in detail, not just page views.
Common Mistake
Tracking events without naming conventions. "click_buy" and "purchase_click" for the same action creates confusion.
