Getting Started

Welcome to Eventicat! This guide will help you start collecting and aggregating your application events in minutes.

What is Eventicat?​

Eventicat is an event aggregation platform that transforms your event chaos into scheduled summaries. Instead of being overwhelmed by constant event streams, you receive organized reports on your schedule—daily, weekly, or monthly.

Quick Start​

To start using Eventicat, you'll need:

  1. An Eventicat account - Sign up at app.eventicat.com
  2. An aggregator - Create one from your dashboard to get a unique event collection URL
  3. Your API key - Found in your account settings

Once you have these, you can start sending events immediately using simple HTTP requests.

Core Concepts​

Aggregators​

An aggregator is a container for your events. Each aggregator has:

  • A unique ID for collecting events
  • A schedule for when reports are sent
  • Configured channels (email, Slack, etc.) for receiving reports

Events​

Events are the data points you send to Eventicat. Each event has:

  • A name (required) - identifies the type of event (e.g., "user_signup", "checkout_completed")
  • Tags (optional) - additional metadata for filtering and grouping

Reports​

Reports are automatically generated summaries of your events, sent according to your aggregator's schedule. They include:

  • Event counts and trends
  • Tag breakdowns
  • Time-based analytics
