Usage

Tracking Customer Events (Analytics)

Track customer behavior and events for analytics and personalization:

import { Modules } from "@medusajs/framework/utils"
// In a workflow, subscriber, or API route
const analyticsModuleService = container.resolve(Modules.ANALYTICS)
await analyticsModuleService.track({
event: "product_viewed",
actor_id: "customer123",
properties: {
product_id: "prod_abc",
product_name: "Amazing Widget",
price: 99.99,
category: "electronics"
}
})

Example: Tracking Order Events

Create a workflow to track order events:

// src/workflows/track-order-placed.ts
import { createWorkflow, createStep, WorkflowResponse } from "@medusajs/framework/workflows-sdk"
import { Modules } from "@medusajs/framework/utils"
import { useQueryGraphStep } from "@medusajs/medusa/core-flows"
type WorkflowInput = {
order_id: string
}
type StepInput = {
order: any
}
const trackOrderPlacedStep = createStep(
"track-order-placed-step",
async ({ order }: StepInput, { container }) => {
const analyticsModuleService = container.resolve(Modules.ANALYTICS)
await analyticsModuleService.track({
event: "order_placed",

Then create a subscriber to execute the workflow:

// src/subscribers/order-placed-analytics.ts
import { SubscriberArgs, type SubscriberConfig } from "@medusajs/medusa"
import { trackOrderPlacedWorkflow } from "../workflows/track-order-placed"
export default async function orderPlacedAnalyticsHandler({
event: { data },
container,
}: SubscriberArgs<{ id: string }>) {
await trackOrderPlacedWorkflow(container).run({
input: { order_id: data.id }
})
}
export const config: SubscriberConfig = {
event: "order.placed",
}

Sending Email Notifications

Once configured, you can send email notifications using the Notification Module:

import { Modules } from "@medusajs/framework/utils"
// In a workflow, subscriber, or API route
const notificationModuleService = container.resolve(Modules.NOTIFICATION)
await notificationModuleService.createNotifications({
to: "customer@example.com",
channel: "email",
template: "order-confirmation",
data: {
order_number: "12345",
customer_name: "John Doe",
order_total: "$99.99"
}
})

Sending SMS Notifications

import { Modules } from "@medusajs/framework/utils"
const notificationModuleService = container.resolve(Modules.NOTIFICATION)
await notificationModuleService.createNotifications({
to: "+1234567890",
channel: "sms",
template: "order-shipped",
data: {
order_number: "12345",
tracking_number: "ABC123XYZ"
}
})

Example: Order Confirmation Subscriber

Create a subscriber to send order confirmation emails:

// src/subscribers/order-placed.ts
import { Modules } from "@medusajs/framework/utils"
import { SubscriberArgs, type SubscriberConfig } from "@medusajs/medusa"
import { trackOrderPlacedWorkflow } from "../workflows/track-order-placed"
export default async function orderPlacedHandler({
event: { data },
container,
}: SubscriberArgs<{ id: string }>) {
// Notifications
try {
const notificationModuleService = container.resolve(Modules.NOTIFICATION)
const query = container.resolve("query")
// Get order details
const { data: [order] } = await query.graph({
entity: "order",
fields: ["*", "customer.*", "items.*"],
filters: { id: data.id }
})
