Hotjar Events API

The Hotjar Events API is a client-side JavaScript API that allows developers to send custom events to Hotjar when specific actions take place on a website. These events can be used to filter collected Recordings and Heatmap data, trigger session capture, and target Surveys to appear based on user behavior. Events are sent using the Hotjar tracking code and are available on all pages where the tracking snippet is installed.
