AWS Pinpoint Plugin for analytics

Integration with AWS Pinpoint for analytics

Amazon Pinpoint is a flexible and scalable outbound and inbound marketing communications service. You can connect with customers over channels like email, SMS, push, or voice.

View the docs.

Installation

Install analytics and @analytics/aws-pinpoint packages

npm install analytics
npm install @analytics/aws-pinpoint

How to use

The @analytics/aws-pinpoint package works in the browser. To use, install the package, include in your project and initialize the plugin with analytics.

Below is an example of how to use the browser plugin.

import Analytics from 'analytics'
import awsPinpointPlugin from '@analytics/aws-pinpoint'

const analytics = Analytics({
  app: 'awesome-app',
  plugins: [
    awsPinpointPlugin({
      pinpointAppId: '938bebb1ae954e123133213160f2b3be4',
      getCredentials: () => Auth.currentCredentials()
    })
  ]
})

/* Track a page view */
analytics.page()

/* Track a custom event */
analytics.track('cartCheckout', {
  item: 'pink socks',
  price: 20
})

/* Identify a visitor */
analytics.identify('user-id-xyz', {
  firstName: 'bill',
  lastName: 'murray'
})

After initializing analytics with the awsPinpointPlugin plugin, data will be sent into AWSPinpoint whenever analytics.page, analytics.track, or analytics.identify are called.

See additional implementation examples for more details on using in your project.
