Introducing the Events 🎉
Hey LiveSession users! We’re thrilled to unveil one of our biggest updates yet. Events bring powerful behavioral insights directly into your workflow. This release gives you deeper visibility into what users do across your product, helping you move from “what happened?” to “why?” faster than ever.
Let’s dive into what’s new:
🎮 Events: Your New Command Center for User Actions
For the first time in LiveSession, you can browse all user events in one organized, searchable, and beautifully structured place.
The Events tab lets you:
Explore all events happening inside your product, in real time
Filter by event type (custom events, clicks, defined events, error clicks, and more)
See every event property in a clean, readable structure
Understand user journeys through actions - not just sessions
Investigate issues faster than ever before
This is your new home for deep product insights, onboarding audits, feature adoption checks, and user behavior exploration.
📒 New Event List
The Event List is built for clarity and speed.
Each event displays:
Event name
Event type
User
Time (when this event occurred)
Everything you need to understand what happened and why, without digging.
👨🏼💻 User Profiles
User Profiles make it simple to understand and analyze individual user behavior. From any profile, you can see:
A list of all recent user sessions
Session statistics: total sessions, total duration, and average session length
User information including built-in properties (email, location) and custom properties (plan, website)
You can also click View All Sessions or View All Events. This takes you directly to the respective list with a filter applied for that user’s ID, so you can see all sessions or events performed by this specific user.
📈 Event Insights
The Event Insights provides a breakdown for each specific event. In the side panel, you can see:
Total number of times the event was performed in the last 30 days
Total users who triggered the event
A trend chart showing changes in event usage over time
The last few sessions where this event occurred
These insights help you track feature adoption, understand user behavior, and quickly identify patterns or anomalies that need attention.
🕵🏻♂️ Viewing Event Details
To see more about any event, click the row or the arrow next to it, and the details will open right below. This inline view makes it easy to get full context without leaving the Event List.
Every event includes built-in properties such as the Distinct ID and the URL where the event occurred.
There are 3 event types with a special look:
Custom Events show all the properties sent with the event, giving you complete visibility into user interactions.
Error Clicks include extra technical details, like the error message and stack trace, making it easier to debug issues without replaying multiple sessions.
Defined Events include the same click-related properties as regular clicks, giving you consistent context across event types.
Smart URL Trimming
Dynamic IDs are now automatically trimmed from URLs, giving you URLs that are actually readable.
🥰 Why You’ll Love It
Deeper Understanding of User Behavior
Events give you the “micro-level” view at user actions in real time.
