Integrate UXCam with Firebase Google Analytics to get more insights about your events and better analyze your data.

Even with tons of data from events triggered in your app, sometimes it’s hard to know why your user’s made some decisions, why they’re not adopting the new features, or not using your app the way you expected them to. While Firebase can provide you with quantitative data, by sending and connecting the events to UXCam, you’ll have a better understanding of your user’s behavior.

Connect UXCam with Firebase to have your Session’s and User's URLs on each of your Firebase Events and easily watch the video recording. You can also analyze the whole user experience to have more insights and pinpoint roadblocks on your user’s journey.

Why integrate with Firebase?

1. Have more consistency in your data by sending the events to Firebase and UXCam.
   
2. Understand the reasons behind all your Firebase data, better analyze your user’s behavior, and address problems more precisely. 

How to do it?

You need to have a Firebase Google Analytics account and a UXCam account. 

In Firebase:

1. On your Firebase project Dashboard, under the Analytics section click on Custom Definitions and then go to “Create custom dimensions”.
2. Give a descriptive name of the dimension (Event) that you want to link to UXCam.
3. Add a parameter to this dimension in “Event parameter” (here you will add your UXCam URL) with a name that you desire, i.e. UXCam_links in example below.
   

In UXCam:

Please make sure that the Event name that you use in UXCam and the Event Parameter are the same that you’ve created on Firebase.

Following our example it should be: Event: ‘purchase_completed’ and event parameter: ‘UXCam_links’

UXCam.start(withKey: "APP_KEY", buildIdentifier: nil) { (started) in
    if started{
        //Add any event name or parameter name you prefer
        if let sessionURL = UXCam.urlForCurrentSession(){
            Analytics.logEvent("purchase_completed", parameters: ["session_url": sessionURL])
        }
    }
}

[UXCam startWithKey:@"APP_KEY" buildIdentifier:nil completionBlock:^(BOOL started) {
    if (started){
        //Add any event name or parameter name you prefer
        [FIRAnalytics logEventWithName:@"purchase_completed" parameters:@{@"uxcam_link":[UXCam urlForCurrentSession]}];
    }
}];

// Inside onCreate method of all activity that is an entry point to your app add
mFirebaseAnalytics = FirebaseAnalytics.getInstance(this);
UXCam.startWithKey("APP_KEY");
    
UXCam.addVerificationListener(new OnVerificationListener() {
    @Override
    public void onVerificationSuccess() {
        Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
        bundle.putString("uxcam_link", UXCam.urlForCurrentSession());
        mFirebaseAnalytics.logEvent("purchase_completed", bundle);
    }
      
    @Override
    public void onVerificationFailed(Strings) { }
    
});
    

final FirebaseAnalytics analytics;
//Make sure the session was started.
FlutterUxcam.urlForCurrentSession().then((value) {
    analytics.logEvent(name: "purchase_completed", parameters: {"uxcam_link": value});
});
