Short answer

How can I log user behavior using my AI?

You tell your agent what happened, and it uses the track_event tool to push that data to your Dashly audit trail. This turns your conversation into a permanent record of user activity. You'll see how the data flows from your chat to your logs below.

Where your data lands.

Event destinations.

Every event you describe ends up in your behavioral audit trail.

AUDIT

Event logs populated

The AI uses track_event to write the specific action to your trail. You get a clean record of what the user did.

DATA

Structured event properties

Your agent maps your description to specific event properties. This keeps your behavioral data organized and searchable.

RECORDS

User action history

The AI links the event to the correct user context. You'll have a chronological history of specific interactions.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

The AI cannot decide which events are important enough to log. You must tell the agent when a specific action warrants a record.

The workflow

What your AI does when an event occurs.

The agent acts as the bridge between your conversation and your event stream.

  1. Interpret the action

    Your agent listens to your description of a user interaction and identifies the core action being performed.

    track_event

  2. Extract properties

    The agent pulls specific details like button IDs or page names from your text to use as event metadata.

    track_event

  3. Execute the log

    The agent calls the tool to send the formatted event data to your Dashly account.

    track_event

  4. Confirm completion

    The agent tells you the event was successfully recorded in the audit trail.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI log events automatically without me asking?

    No. The AI only logs events when you explicitly tell it to or when it is part of a specific instruction you've given.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete old events from my audit trail?

    No. The track_event tool only allows for creating new records. It cannot modify or delete existing logs.

  • 03

    Does the AI decide what the event name should be?

    The AI will suggest a name based on your description, but you should specify the exact event name you want to ensure your data stays consistent.

  • 04

    Can I send custom properties with the event?

    Yes. You can describe the specific details you want to include, and the agent will include them in the event payload.

  • 05

    Will this work in any AI client?

    Yes, it works in any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf once you have connected Dashly via Vinkius.
