Configuring Analytics
On the settings page, there’s a subsection in the Developers section for Analytics. From here, you can supply a URL and, optionally, authorization token for Explo to send information to and select the set of actions you want reported. Note that the url must be formatted as a valid url withhttp:// or https://.
If you’d like to receive a Javascript Event when an Analytics Event is sent, set up an event listener for analyticsEventFired. Read about javascript events.

Recommended Ways to Test
Internally, we use Beeceptor to test these endpoints. It ensures the requests are sending and that the request body is structured as expected. All you need to do is launch a mock server and use that generated endpoint, likegarytesting.free.beeceptor.com, in the URL field in the Explo app.
Then, open your embedded dashboard and fire some events to see it flow to Beeceptor.
