Question

07:01 May 08, 2019

Hi,

I am trying to track the events on the website such as number of visits each day, number of clicks each day etc on the website.

What object do I use to create the dashboards?

Also, does it work like how wordpress works, counting the number of events(visits and clicks) on the website even if the user is not registered in the CRM? Say someone just visits the website and a cookie is created, but they do not enter any details on the site, so can I still have a counter for how many visits I had on that page and how many clicks I had on the buttons I am tracking?

Please let me know, if possible, how we can do that and if someone has an example to share, that'd be awesome.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Hello,

You can create a "metric" dashboard that reads "Website event" object and in filtering conditions you can specify the type of the event, date range and so on. See an example on my screenshot http://prntscr.com/nme3tv - it will represent the amount of "download materials" events for "Antiviruses" product.

As for your second question - yes, it also tracks the activity of unregistered contacts of the system and generate leads. The whole explanation on how website events tracking works can be found here.

Unfortunately we don't have examples of particular realisation of webtracking on site's side, but you can also read how to set it up generally here.

Best regards,

Oscar

Oscar Dylan,

For how long is this information stored in the contacts history?

aaykay,

This information on events tracking is stored for 2 days in contact's history and erases after two days pass. We do also have a problem for our R&D team so they could implement new logic of changing this period in one of future versions of the application. I will also notify them about your request so to raise the priority of the problem.
