isInteraction

Not all events that are triggered are the results of user interaction. Some events are also triggered just by the fact that an element is on the page. For example, a promotion view of the header on the homepage.

The distinction, between which events are triggered by interaction and not, can be relevant. One of the main uses of this distinction is the calculation of bounce rates.

If there is no distinction between events, the fact that a user lands on the homepage and immediatly triggers the view of the homepage header will result in a bounce rate of 0%.

Below you find the table to see which event type is considered an interaction and which not.
