Send events via the CLI agent

Send events

Once you’ve filled in the required values from the previous section, you can start sending actor-generated events through the Tallyfy Manufactory agent.

Required keys

• --actor (required) object - Pairs containing an attribute name and its corresponding value, using the correct attribute names and data types. See Get Actors schema.
• --event (required) object - Pairs containing an attribute name and its corresponding value, using the correct attribute names and data types. See Get events schema.

Actor example

{
    "city": "New York",
    "country": "USA",
    "username": "john.doe",
    "email": "john.doe@email.com"
}

Event example

{
    "event_name": "login",
    "event_type": "user-actions",
    "made_purchase": false
}

Before passing actor and event objects, you’ll need to encode them using base64¹.

Agent example

manufactory-agent --actor=ewogICAgImNpdHkiOiAiTmV3I \
                  --event=ewogICAgImV2ZW50X25hbWUiO==

The agent handles authentication and sends the events, then shuts down.
