This package provides a simple way to add telemetry tracking to your WordPress plugin. It sends weekly reports to your server with information about the plugin's usage.
Install the package using composer:
composer require bitapps/wp-telemetry
Initialize the telemetry client in your plugin's bootstrap file.
function initialize_telemetry_client()
{
TelemetryConfig::setTitle($title);
TelemetryConfig::setSlug($plugin_slug);
TelemetryConfig::setPrefix($plugin_prefix);
TelemetryConfig::setVersion($plugin_version);
TelemetryConfig::setServerBaseUrl( 'https://api.example.com/' );
TelemetryConfig::setTermsUrl( 'https://example.com/terms/' ); // (optional)
TelemetryConfig::setPolicyUrl( 'https://example.com/privacy/' ); // (optional)
Telemetry::report()->init(); // initialize telemetry tracking
Telemetry::feedback()->init(); // initialize deactivation feedback survey
}
initialize_telemetry_client();
You are good to go! 👍️
The telemetry client will start sending data weekly
to your configured server url.
You can add a setting in your plugin settings page to allow users to opt-in or opt-out of telemetry tracking. You can use the following methods to change the opt-in/opt-out status.
⚡️ Opt In :
Telemetry::report()->trackingOptIn();
⚡️ Opt Out :
Telemetry::report()->trackingOptOut();
⚡️ Check if tracking is enabled
Telemetry::report()->isTrackingAllowed();
⚡️ Filter Hook to Add Additional Data :
This filter allows adding additional data to track information used by the plugin. You can modify the additional_data
array to include any custom data needed.
add_filter($plugin_prefix . 'telemetry_additional_data', 'customize_additional_data', 10, 1);
function customize_additional_data($additional_data)
{
// Do your stuffs here
return $additional_data;
}
⚡️ Filter Hook To Modify Telemetry Data :
This filter allows modifying the telemetry data before sending it to the server. You can modify the $telemetry_data
array to include any custom data needed.
add_filter($plugin_prefix . 'telemetry_data', 'customize_telemetry_data', 10, 1);
function customize_telemetry_data($telemetry_data)
{
// Do your stuffs here
return $telemetry_data;
}
⚡️ Add plugin information in tracking data
Telemetry::report()
->addPluginData()
->init();
⚡️ Filter Hook to Add Deactivate Reasons :
This filter allows adding additional deactivate reasons to the feedback survey. You can modify the deactivate_reasons
array to include any custom reasons needed.
add_filter($plugin_prefix . 'deactivate_reasons', 'add_deactivate_reasons', 10, 1);
function add_deactivate_reasons($deactivate_reasons)
{
// example of adding a custom deactivate reason
$deactivate_reasons[] = [
'title' => 'What could we have done to improve your experience?',
'placeholder' => 'Please provide your feedback here',
];
return $deactivate_reasons;
}
