Hi everyone, I am new to GrowthBook and have successfully connected my application, created a feature flag, and can toggle a feature on and off. However, I'm encountering an issue when trying to run A/B testing on this feature. Specifically, I want to track user events to measure performance when the feature is enabled or disabled. Can I send these user events directly to GrowthBook, or do I need to use external event tracking tools like BigQuery? Additionally, could you provide a sample code implementation for event tracking? Thanks!

Hi Mintesnot - GrowthBook is warehouse native and uses any data source, but does not store events directly

Hi Graham, nope I don't have connected any event tracking currently. however planned to use bigQuery for event tracking.

bigquery is a database, usually you'd use an event tracker to pipe data to BigQuery

Oh got it!

you can use growthbook to send the exposure events - ie, which users were exposed to which experiments

got it, so when I send the event do I need to add the user identifier so that growthbook can match the data with the users, is this right?

ya, but most event trackers will do this automatically - you would tell GrowthBook the id that the event tracker is using (typically)

I got it, I really appreciate your help Graham, thanks!

no problem
