“Heap Autocapture should handle the majority of your UI interaction tracking without manually adding event-tracking code to React components.”
+ automatic interaction capture
“Once the Heap JavaScript snippet is installed, it captures these events by default:”
+ SPA navigation detection
“It can automatically detect these navigation changes and generate pageviews.”

− unstable selectors in dynamic React components
“Heap can capture the interactions, but defining reliable events becomes harder if selectors are unstable.”
− autocapture does not confirm business outcomes
“But that doesn't necessarily mean:”
