Send Your First Custom xAPI Statement From Storyline

Thanks Melissa for sharing! Examples like this are tremendously helpful for the community, so I appreciate your willingness to give back! 

Really that's a great post Melissa Thank you,

Is there any way in articulate storyline 3 to create a login credentials in starting slide of the course so that we take those details(name and email) and append dynamically it to our XAPI statement as actor name and email?

Thank you...

Hey Kiran and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

Hopefully Melissa will be able to chime back in to help you out here, but you are certainly welcome to reach out to the user directly via the 'Contact Me' option on the user profile if you do not hear back soon.

You can include a javascript function to fire when the user submits their name and email (Player Triggers > Execute Javascript). 

The function could take the name and email values, store them in local or session storage

example:  sessionStorage.setItem('actorName', actorNameFromForm)

then you can retrieve them before the xAPI statement is created 

example: actorNameForStatement = sessionStorage.getItem('actorName') 

and include the new variable in the statement 

example: 

"actor": {
    "name": "User: " + actorNameForStatement,
},

Thanks for popping in to share your solution with the community Charles :)

Welcome to E-Learning Heroes as well!

I have a way to get the name (and I assume I will be able to pull the email address also) from he player (LMS) and store them as variables. In the code I am using the name is stored as myName. How do I get the xAPI statement to send that variable as the actor?

The same would then apply to the email address.

HI, i've followed your steps word for word on linkedin but am getting this error when clicking on note01:
