Here are some highlights of the product updates we’ve been shipping in the past few weeks. From speeding up event and property creation with Inspector, to auto-correct for event and property names, in addition to a looong list of other bug fixes and improvements ⛵️

Keep scrolling for more details on what we’ve been shipping 👇

‍

Build and edit your tracking plan based on existing tracking 🪄

The Inspector monitors your app's event tracking schema and compares it to the tracking plan to ensure that all events and properties are being sent correctly.

In many cases, the Inspector may detect events and properties that are missing from the tracking plan. Previously, adding these events and properties manually to the tracking plan was time-consuming and required multiple browser windows to keep context.

With the new "Add Event from Inspector" feature, users can create an event along with all its detected properties with just one click from the Inspector dashboard.

Auto-correct for event and property names

From now on Avo will automatically suggest an auto-correction to your event and property names, to make sure they fit the casing rules you’ve configured for your workspace.

Auto-correct is built on top of the Tracking Plan Audit, which allows you to enforce data design rules across your tracking plan, and flag any discrepancies in your data designs.
