Algolia: Implement click events tracking on searches

[janpio]

My question to Algolia support:

I am trying to understand why I only see "There is no data yet" in our Analytics dashboard: https://www.algolia.com/apps/MK4LNFW4EO/analytics/overview/prisma2-docs?from=2021-06-30&to=2021-07-06

Their response:

Looking at your site, I can see that you have the Algolia search within the docs area of the site. However, it doesn't look like you are tracking any click events on these searches.

In order to collect the click position you need to tell Algolia that you want to track click events.

Some useful guides to setting this up can be found within our documentation:

https://www.algolia.com/doc/guides/getting-insights-and-analytics/search-analytics/click-and-conversion-analytics/

In addition to this, here is how you can track your click and conversion events.

Check from the source:

The first step is to use the Insights Validator plugin: https://www.algolia.com/doc/guides/getting-insights-and-analytics/search-analytics/click-through-and-conversions/in-depth/insights-validator-plugin/

This plugin tracks the click and conversion events in your developer tools, I recommend first checking it with a application with working click and conversion analytics like this one:https://codesandbox.io/s/github/algolia/doc-code-samples/tree/master/InstantSearch.js/algolia-insights

and checking that your own application is recording click and conversion events in the same way:

Once you see events coming through ok, the next place to check is your insights events logs on your dashboard: https://www.algolia.com/monitoring/insights
