How do I track an event in Drip?
Short answer: You can track drip event in Drip by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Drip Track Drip Event action to a workflow, map its 3 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.

|---|---|---|---|
Subscriber Email email | string | Required | Subscriber Email. e.g. "user@example.com" |
Event Action action | string | Required | Event Action. Example: Completed purchase |
Properties (JSON) properties | string | Optional | Custom event properties |
Sample request
{"email": "user@example.com","action": "e.g. Completed purchase","properties": "{\"product\": \"Pro Plan\", \"value\": 99}"}
Returns

Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

FAQ
Questions about Track Drip Event.
What does the Track Drip Event action do in Drip?
Logs a custom event for a subscriber with optional properties. Drives event-based campaign triggers in Drip's automation engine.
What inputs does Track Drip Event require?

What happens if Drip returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Drip returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Track Drip Event support batch operations?
Run Track Drip Event inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Drip's rate limits.
