Are there any best practices for sending Analytics about game to my server?

I have a game in development that has several mini-games.
I created a room in Photon, and in that room, I can play several mini-games.
I would like to count of how many times each mode has been played. Is there a good way to send this information to my server from PhotonCloud?
I read the documentation for Webhooks, but it doesn't look like it is intended for this kind of use.
I thought about sending it directly from the client, but I didn't want to create a new connection on the client. And we thought it would be more accurate to send it from the server.

Hi @kyubuns,
Thank you for choosing Photon!
No, actually Webhooks could be used for this.I read the documentation for Webhooks, but it doesn't look like it is intended for this kind of use.
If you can have a room per mini-game that would be perfect. You could make a lobby per mini-game type and make use of lobby stats (client side).I created a room in Photon, and in that room, I can play several mini-games.
If you can't how do you play mini-games? do you use RPC? RaiseEvent or SetProperties to announce start of mini-game? ideally you use RaiseEvent and forward it as a webhook to count it.
There are also WebRPCs if you want to avoid another connection on the client.1 -
I see!
I think I can make this happen!
Thank you!1
