How to test mobile event tracking with your AI

Connect Aptabase to your AI client to simulate telemetry. You can then verify that your custom events and metadata are firing correctly without touching your app's source code.

Short answer

Can I test mobile events using an AI?

Yes. You use your AI to trigger the send_event tool, which pushes telemetry data directly to Aptabase. This lets you confirm your event schemas and metadata are correct in real time. You'll see exactly how the data lands in your dashboard.

The testing outcomes

Where your data lands.

What happens after you run a test.

VALIDATION

Verified event schemas

The AI uses send_event to push data. You get immediate confirmation that your event names and properties match your requirements.

SIMULATION

Synthetic telemetry

Your AI acts as a proxy for your mobile app. It generates the specific metadata and custom properties you need to test edge cases.

DEBUGGING

Real-time data checks

Compare what the AI sends against what you see in the Aptabase dashboard. This catches typos or missing attributes instantly.

HUMAN

Manual SDK verification

The AI cannot touch your actual mobile code. You still need to implement the real SDK in your app to ensure the production environment behaves the same way.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

The AI handles the data transmission so you can focus on the event logic.

  1. Define the event

    You tell your AI what event you want to simulate, including any custom properties or system metadata.

    send_event

  2. Trigger the telemetry

    The AI executes the command to push that specific event payload to your Aptabase project.

    send_event

  3. Verify the payload

    The AI confirms the action was successful and can help you format the next test case based on the previous one.

    send_event

  4. Analyze the results

    You check the Aptabase dashboard to ensure the simulated event appears exactly as expected.

  • Send an event named 'button_click' with a property 'screen_name' set to 'home_dashboard'.

  • Simulate a 'user_signup' event for my Aptabase project including 'method' as 'email'.

  • Trigger a telemetry event for 'purchase_completed' with 'amount' set to 29.99 and 'currency' as 'USD'.

  • Create a custom event called 'session_start' and include system metadata for 'device_type' as 'ios'.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI change my existing app code?

    No. The AI only interacts with the Aptabase API via the connector. It cannot modify your mobile application's source code.

  • 02

    Does this replace my mobile SDK?

    No. This is a testing tool. You still need the Aptabase SDK in your app to track real user behavior.

  • 03

    Can I test user properties too?

    Yes, as long as you include those properties within the event payload when you tell the AI to send an event.

  • 04

    Will this delete my existing event data?

    No. The available tools only allow for sending new events. There is no tool to delete or modify historical data.

  • 05

    Can the AI see my real users?

    No. The AI only sees the specific event data you instruct it to send during your testing sessions.
