These customer events also help you understand the efficiency of your campaigns (refer Profile report).

When a customer performs an action, Lifesight captures specific metrics via the native integration with Shopify. Different data points are captured about each event; common events include Started Checkout, Placed Order, and Viewed Product and Abandoned Checkout. Each metric that is captured in Lifesight also has metadata, which provides pertinent information about the event.

For instance, Shopify will track the start of a customer's checkout as a Started Checkout event, which Lifesight reads and records. Periodically, data about the product(s) still in the cart, the quantity of each item, the total cart value, etc., are provided to Lifesight from Shopify. This data is stored as a customer event associated with a specific contact, and contains all the details related to a particular customer's behavior.

Here’s a list of the customer events you can find on Lifesight:
