Pendo integration

CommandBar’s integration with Pendo Analytics works in two directions:

  1. CommandBar —> Pendo: send CommandBar-generated events to Pendo, so you can build dashboards using CommandBar events (and mix them with other events captured by Pendo)
  2. Pendo —> CommandBar: use Pendo user properties and events for Who and When targeting in CommandBar
One-time configuration

Once configured, the integration will "just work" — no maintenance required. You will not need to make any code changes to handle new properties.

Sending CommandBar events to Pendo​

This is a 1-step integration!

Navigate to Integrations and click Enable on the Pendo integration card.

Using Pendo data and events in CommandBar​

Sending Properties to CommandBar​

You can send any of the existing user properties that you send to Pendo to CommandBar. Here’s a simplified code snippet:

// Your existing user properties
var userProperties = {
	id: "account_id",
	name: "Haruki Murakami",
	plan: "pro",
	role: "admin",
	...
};

// Set properties for your user in Pendo
pendo.identify({ account: userProperties });

// And additionally sent to CommandBar:
window.CommandBar.boot(userID, userProperties);

// Adding one-off or session only properties to CommandBar is easy too:
window.CommandBar.addMetadata("userIsWorkspaceOwner", true);
