Capturly setup

What do I need to start using Capturly?

If you have already registered to Capturly, the first thing you have to do is installing the Capturly tracking code to your website. After the code is installed and the first visitors are tracked, you can gain access to all of the features available in your plan.

How can I install Capturly’s tracking code?

You can find your tracking code by following these steps:

STEP 1 Log in to your Capturly account and go to the  Settings  under your email address in the right top corner.

STEP 2 Select your desired website that you wish to gather data from in the left column

STEP 3 Scroll down to the bottom of the  Website Settings  page until you see your tracking code

Your Capturly tracking code will look like this:

Capturly’s tracking code is installed, but no data has appeared yet.

You might encounter an issue where Capturly’s tracking code is already installed, but you still cannot access your website’s visitor data. This happens when there was no trackable visitor activity on your website from when you installed the tracking code until recent observation. Do not worry as you will have access to your website analytics data after the first visitors are tracked.

Additionally, keep in mind that Capturly updates website metrics a few times a day depending on your subscription. If you’ve recently set up Capturly or are waiting for new data, there may be a short delay before the information appears. Check back after some time has passed or reach out to our support team if you need further assistance.
