+In the example above only the name of the action is required.
 The library takes care of handling the `url` parameter with the current URL automatically and is not required to specify it explicitly.
-You can pass another url as the third argument to the `Hellotext.track` method.
+If you want to provide another url, you can pass a `url` key in the params object when tracking an event.
 
+```javascript
+Hellotext.track("page.viewed", {
+  url: "www.example.org"
+});
+```
+
+The `track` method returns a Promise that can be `await`ed using the async/await syntax. Or using `.then` on the returned Promise
+
+```javascript
+const response = await Hellotext.track("page.viewed");
+// {status: "received", success: true}
+```
+
+The parameters passed to the action must be a valid set of parameters as described in
+[Tracking Actions](https://www.hellotext.com/api#tracking).
+
+Failing to provide valid set of parameters will result in an error object being returned, describing the parameters that did not satisfy the rules.
+
+```javascript
+const response = await Hellotext.track("app.installed", { app_attributes: { name: "My App" }})
+{
+  errors: [
+    {
+      type: 'parameter_not_unique',
+      parameter: 'name',
+      description: 'The value must be unique and it is already present in another object of the same type.'
+    },
+  ], 
+  success: false
+}
+```
+
+You can use `success` key present in the response object to run code conditionally.
+For a complete list of errors types. See [Error Types](https://www.hellotext.com/api#errors)
 
 Generally, most actions also require an associated object. These can be of type [`app`](https://www.hellotext.com/api#apps), [`coupon`](https://www.hellotext.com/api#coupons), [`form`](https://www.hellotext.com/api#forms), [`order`](https://www.hellotext.com/api#orders), [`product`](https://www.hellotext.com/api#products) and [`refund`](https://www.hellotext.com/api#refunds).

 ## Understanding Sessions
 
-The library looks for a session identifier present on the `hellotext_session` parameter. If the session is not present as a cookie neither it will create a new random session identifier. The session is automatically sent to Hellotext any time the `Hellotext.track` method is called.

 ### Get session
 
 It is possible to obtain the current session by simply calling `Hellotext.session`. 
 
 ```javascript
-Hellotext.session
+await Hellotext.session
 // Returns bBJn9vR15yPaYkWmR2QK0jopMeNxrA6l
 ```
+Calling the `Hellotext.session` for the first time will send a request to Hellotext to create a session,
+then the class stores the value in the `hello_session` cookie. Subsequent calls would not result in requests made to the server,
+because the class stores the value. 
 
 You may want to store the session on your backend when customers are unidentified so you can later [attach it to a profile](https://www.hellotext.com/api#attach_session) when it becomes known.
