Analytics Overview

Candu provides powerful out-of-the-box analytics to measure user interaction and engagement with your content. Analytics are automatically tracked once content is embedded within your application and live to users.

Analytics are split into a few key areas:

  1. Analytics Overview: High-level performance metrics across all content

  2. Content Analytics: Individual content performance metrics

  3. Experiment Analytics: A/B testing results and insights

  4. Setting up Goals: Using Event

  5. User Analytics: Individual user interaction patterns

  6. Group Analytics: Group interaction patterns

  7. Event Analytics: Specific interaction tracking and analysis


What Data Does Candu Collect?

Candu automatically tracks comprehensive user interaction data across your content. Each event includes a uid for easy user activity tracking.

Read more about event names and schema here.

Content Events

Content events are generic events common to every type of content; they include:

  • Content, Document, and Segment names:

  • Version tracking: Which version of the content was seen by the user

  • Placement tracking: Which placement is associated with this content interaction

Component-Specific Events

Component events are fired when specific interactions occur; they include:

  • Button and link clicks: A user clicking a button or link

  • Card interactions and dismissals: A user interacting with or dismissing a card or banner

  • Checklist completions (for group and individual items): A user or account completing a checklist.

  • Form submissions: When a form is submitted

  • Flow step progression: As a user moves through a multi-step flow

  • Tour step interactions: As a user moves through or dismisses a multi-step tour

  • Modal dismissal: As a user dismisses a modal via the dismissible 'X'

  • Hotspot engagement (tooltip views, beacon interactions): How a user interacts with a hotspot or hotspot group.

Candu natively includes an event label for each component interaction. Many of these can be overwritten in the editor.
