track events don't get tracked - missing properties in documentation

[leonardlin]

Following the documentation I tried to track an event, but nothing showed up in Klaviyo UI.

// Track a user's behavior - create an event in Klaviyo
KlaviyoClient.public.track({
event: 'Ordered Pizza',
email: 'pizza.dave@mailinator.com',
properties: {
items: [
{
size: 'Large',
toppings: [
'Pepperoni',
'Onions',
'Smoked Gouda'
],
price: 23.99
}
],
$value: 23.99
},
customerProperties: {
likesOnions: true
},
timestamp: 1532806824
});

Merging it with the documentation about API here:
https://help.klaviyo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038562411-Setting-Up-API-based-Website-Activity-Events#server-side-requests2

I had to modify the event call for the event to work:

• add customer_properties.$email
• fix field-name customerProperties -> customer_properties
• fix field-name timestamp -> time

// adjusted version that works
KlaviyoClient.public.track({
event: 'Ordered Pizza',
email: 'pizza.dave@mailinator.com',
customer_properties: {
$email: 'pizza.dave@mailinator.com',
}.
properties: {
items: [
{
size: 'Large',
toppings: [
'Pepperoni',
'Onions',
'Smoked Gouda'
],
price: 23.99
}
],
$value: 23.99
},
time: 1532806824
});

Tested this on the latest release (1.1.3) and was unable to reproduce:
