General Events - Method API Docs

Method Elements will no longer be supported or maintained beginning December 31st, 2025. We recommend using Method Opal for all new integrations. If you are currently using Elements, please reach out to your CSM to discuss your migration options.

Open

The open event is triggered when an element has successfully launched. No additional data is passed at this time.

The event payload will have the following form:

The error event is sent for any element that encounters any error while it’s active.
