Eligible reseller and partner accounts can run telemetry scripts in their Vida application. Use these hooks to connect a browser analytics provider and measure application usage under your own analytics account.
Telemetry scripts execute in the browser. Never place secret API keys, private credentials, or privileged backend operations in them. Test every script in a non-production reseller before enabling it for customers.

​
Available lifecycle scripts

The editor checks whether the supplied text is valid JavaScript, but syntax validation does not prove that a provider loaded, an event was delivered, or the script is safe.
  1. Create a test source or project in your analytics provider.
  2. Add the provider’s browser loader to Base Script.
  3. Initialize anonymous application tracking in App Initialization Script when required.
  4. Map id and the supplied traits in User Identification Script.
  5. Send Vida page and props values from Page View Tracking Script.
  6. Send Vida event and props values from Event Tracking Script.
  7. Use the provider’s live debugger to verify identification, page views, and representative events.
  8. Repeat the validation from a downstream customer account before copying the configuration to production.
Example provider-neutral hooks:

​
Use traits carefully

The traits object describes the signed-in user and the routed Vida account. Use stable external identifiers when you need to reconcile Vida activity with your product. Inspect the actual payload in the test environment instead of assuming every account type exposes the same fields. Collect only the data your analytics implementation requires and apply your privacy, consent, retention, and access policies.

​
Change scripts safely

Keep a copy of the working production scripts before replacing them. Change one lifecycle hook at a time, verify it in the provider, and watch for page errors or duplicate events. Remove a script by clearing that field only after confirming no other hook depends on its global library.
