Via dashboard

Use Zenskar’s web form to enter individual usage events when you need to record one-off or low-volume data.

When to use this

Backfill missing events or correct data
Quickly test or validate metric definitions
As an alternative for Excel or Google sheets

How to enter a usage event manually

In the Zenskar dashboard, go to Usage > Usage events.
Click the specific usage event you want to update.
On the usage event page, click the dropdown beside Upload CSV, then select Add a single event.
Complete the Add new event form:
- Text fields match the usage event schema (for example, customer_id, timestamp, and your data fields).
- All required fields must be filled. The form enforces the schema you defined.
Click Add event. It may take a few seconds for the new row to appear in the event table.

What to expect

Your entry is stored in Zenskar’s ingestion table, just like data sent via APIs or connectors.
Any downstream billing or metric aggregations will include your entry.
You can edit or delete manual entries via the same web interface.
