Creating an Event

This page provides explanation on how to create an event from scratch, existing file or from a template.

You can define an event's objective, configure its details, and classify it under a project. You can export or import of these events to simplify event management and transfer. Events can be exported as reusable templates to replicate them without starting from scratch. Alternatively, events can be exported as server-stored files, enabling seamless migration between environments with the same application configuration. For demonstration purposes, this topic uses the example of encouraging Credit Card customers to perform e-commerce transactions.
