Beacons are used to send data about the subscriber's behavior on your website to your PushPushGo account. Thanks to this, we know what subpages they visited and what actions they performed.
PushPushGo offers several strategies for sending beacons to the application. Its choice depends on how your website is built.
Default: for pages that reload when an element is clicked
Hash: for older SPA pages (Single Page Applications) whose URLs contain "#", e.g. / # / profile /,
History: modern SPA pages running on the History API - page reload is not visible as in the default strategy, and there is no "#" sign in the URL
Visibility change: detection of an action indicating exiting the page, such as changing the tab, minimizing the browser window. Intended for pages on which, after clicking on a given element, a new tab opens in the browser.
All selectors defined on project contain concrete instructions on gathering data from the website and processing it. This is a single piece of information for a beacon.
Each transition on a page, like reloading it, leaving it, or moving to a new subpage, results in sending a beacon with data included in a selector for automation scenario purposes.
