Events - Amazon Pinpoint

Events

In Amazon Pinpoint, you can create events to record and track how users interact with your app. For example, you can log interactions such as account creations, sign-in attempts, and purchases as events.

You can use the Events resource to record events for endpoints. This includes creating events and creating or updating data for endpoints that are associated with events.
