Show when a user started but did not complete a tour (Guide State Changed)

This recipe will help you show when a user started but did not complete a tour to track their progress and interaction using the Guide State Changed event, which only fires when the user starts, completes, or closes (abandons) a tour.

Note: Custom events that begin with "Guide..." correspond to Guides and Surveys tours.

Ingredients

  • Content: Tour
  • Event: Guide State Changed
