Does Heap's automatic capture actually pick up clicks and form submissions inside a React single-page app, or do we still need to tag events manually?

“Yes. Heap's Autocapture works with React single-page applications (SPAs).”

“Once Heap's web snippet is installed, it automatically captures standard DOM interactions, including:”

“Heap supports SPAs and automatically captures browser pushState and hashChange events.”

“Heap also supports custom events through its tracking APIs.”

“Bottom line: You don't need developers to instrument every React button and form. Heap's Autocapture handles most standard interactions automatically.”

“React Router: Make sure route changes update the browser history or URL meaningfully. Otherwise, Heap might not recognize navigation as a new pageview.”

“Dynamic components: Use distinct, stable CSS classes, IDs, or data-* attributes on important elements. This makes event identification more reliable.”

“Custom interactions: If a React component performs an action without triggering a standard DOM click, change, or submit event, you may need custom instrumentation.”

“Event timing: SPA transitions can occasionally cause page properties such as title and previous page to reflect the previous route.”
