You can read SDK references for adding custom fields to customer's profiles.
Events: Growlytics automatically captures page visits, click and input events for you. Moreover, Growlytics SDK lets you track what actions users perform in your app or website, such as a viewed product category, listening to a song, or making a purchase. Events are associated with both a customer profile and a customer's session.
Sessions: Each website visit or app launch will be marked as a session. Events triggered within 30 minutes of each other are counted towards the current session. The time of the first event marks the start time of a session and the last event triggered marks the end time of a session.
Segments: With Growlytics you can create segments, which are a group of customers whose behaviors, activities, or profile properties meet a set of filters you’ve defined. Once you’ve identified segments, you can save them, target them with event analytics and also engage with them by campaigns, and then analyze them over time.
Campaigns: With Growlytics, you create campaigns on different channels like Email, Push notifications etc. to communicate with your customers at scale. Growlytics provides wide variety of trigger points to make sure you are engaging with customers with right message at right time.
Reporting: Growlytics lets you build reports to understand the impact of your product events or campaigns. You can use these reports to analyze your user engagement and guide product decisions.
