Linking API Calls with User Actions in Flutter

Abinash — Wed, 04 Dec 2024 07:22:12 GMT

Dear Team,

We have integrated our Flutter mobile application with DT and performed manual instrumentation. As a result, we can now capture user actions and the corresponding API calls. However, our concern is that these are being recorded as separate actions. Our expectation is to link the API call and the page, displaying them as a single user action along with the response time.

Attached screenshot for your reference.

So customer is essentially asking if navigation can be connected to a web request. As the navigation is a single time event there is no option to fit in a web request. This would only be solvable if we add some sort of timeout to action/event creation but in this case the navigation would happen before the request, because the Observer is no telling us when navigation has finished. Meaning from timing perspective they are actually seperated.
