Customize a viewer's experience with your Tolstoy by subscribing to JavaScript events!

Tolstoy’s player uses window.postMessage() to post event from the embedded iframe to the parent hosting site! For more information about this method, we recommend checking out this article.

Here is an example of using an event:

  window.addEventListener("message", message => {
if (message.data.name === 'tolstoyStarted') {
console.log("Tolsoty Started", message.data)
}
});

All events will send the event name in the name attribute,

In addition, all events will send the following.

accountId - Your account ID

projectId - Your project ID

videoName - The name of the first video

anonymousId - Viewer ID
