actionText (browser SPA API) | New Relic Documentation

Syntax

newrelic.interaction().actionText(string $value)

Sets the text value of the HTML element that was clicked to start a browser interaction.

Requirements

Agent version nr-1099 or higher.

Description

This SPA monitoring method sets the text value of the HTML element that was clicked to start a browser interaction. The value will be exposed as the actionText attribute in the BrowserInteraction event.

NOTE: The agent automatically attempts to determine the text value of the HTML element that was clicked. This applies only to <a>, <button>, and <input> elements. The actionText API can be used in cases where this is not sufficient or accurate.

Tip

This API call applies to data in SPA page views in browser and the BrowserInteraction event type within New Relic One. To set a custom name for standard page views and the PageView event type, see setPageViewName. Using both calls together is recommended.

Parameters
