## Overview

Custom Events let publishers send their own events to Ezoic. These events can be used in Ezoic's Big Data Analytics (BDA) platform for dynamic reporting and analysis.

## Usage

To send a custom event:

```javascript
window.ezoicEvent = window.ezoicEvent || {};
window.ezoicEvent.queue = window.ezoicEvent.queue || [];
window.ezoicEvent.queue.push(function(){
    window.ezoicEvent.add("event_name", "event_value");
});
```

Replace event_name and event_value with your own values. Your events will be available in BDA and can be viewed in the Custom Event report.
