The Freshsales PHP Library helps you track the in-app activities of your customers using your web application.

- Instantiate the core analytics class FreshsalesAnalytics with the snippet below
FreshsalesAnalytics::init(array( ‘domain’ => "<APP URL>", ‘app_token’ => "<APP TOKEN>" );
4. Replace the "<APP URL>"and "<APP TOKEN>" with your portal url and app token. You can find it under Admin Settings > Integrations > Freshsales for web > PHP
STEP 2: Create leads
You can use the snippet below to create leads, track signups and logins.
FreshsalesAnalytics::identify(array( 'identifier' => "john@abc.com", 'Last name' => "Doe", 'company' => array( 'Name' => "Test Company" ) ));
STEP 3: Create contacts

STEP 4: Track Pageviews
You can track the pages viewed in your application using the snippet below.
FreshsalesAnalytics::trackPageView(array( 'identifier' => ‘john@abc.com', //Identifier 'url' => 'http://sample.com/pricing' //Track Page URL ));
STEP 5: Track Events
You can use the snippet below to track all the in-app activities of your users like - adding users, enabling/disabling integrations, password resets, number of logins etc as Events in Freshsales.
To track events,
-
Identify the specific call to action buttons that you’d like to be notified about.
- Call the trackEvent method from the snippet below.
FreshsalesAnalytics::trackEvent(array( 'identifier' => ‘john@abc.com', //Identifier 'name' => 'Inviting New User', //Event Name 'user_email' => 'user@abc.com', //Custom Property 1 'prop2' => 'value2' //Custom Property 2 ));
STEP 6: Update lead and contact information
The library also updates lead and contact information through web forms and visitor activity on the web app.
To update lead/contact information,
- Call FreshsalesAnalytics::identify from the snippet below.
FreshsalesAnalytics::identify(array( ‘Identifier’ => ‘john@abc.com’, contactPayment => array( ‘Payment Id’ => 129863, ‘Plan Name’ => ‘2 agents’, ‘Amount’ => ‘$2500’, ‘CustomField’ => ‘Custom Field Value’ ) ));
If your web form has fields that aren’t in Freshsales, you can create custom fields for the same and get the values pushed to Freshsales.
