Tutorial: Generate a Log from Your Site

This tutorial demonstrates how to generate a log from your site code. We will then view the generated log using Wix Logs.

In this tutorial, we will:

  1. Add a button to your site's homepage.
  2. Create an event handler that generates a log whenever the button is clicked.
  3. View the generated log using Wix Logs.

Note: In this tutorial, logs are generated from page code. However, you can also generate logs from code that runs on the site backend.

Step 1 | Add a button to your site

  1. Add a button labeled button1 to your site's home page.

Generate a log and view it using Wix Logs as follows:

  1. In a separate browser tab or window, open the Wix Logs dashboard page.

  2. In your live site's homepage, click the button you created:
