Getting started

Create a site, install the widget and watch your first live visitor in about five minutes.

NudgeVisor is the all-in-one visitor platform: watch who is on your site in real time, replay any session pixel-for-pixel, chat with visitors, and fire proactive nudges based on behaviour. This guide takes you from a fresh account to your first live visitor in about five minutes.

1. Create your account

Sign up and you will land in the dashboard. NudgeVisor is free during early access, so there is no card to add and nothing to configure before you start.

2. Add your first site

A site represents one website or web app you want to watch. When you create a site, NudgeVisor generates two keys for it:

  • A public key that goes in the widget snippet on your pages.
  • A secret key for server-to-server calls.

You only ever need the public key to get started. See Public & secret keys for the difference.

3. Install the widget

Copy the install snippet from your site's page and paste it just before the closing </head> tag on every page you want to track. The full walkthrough — including how to confirm it is firing — lives in Installing the widget.

4. Watch your first visitor

Open your site in another tab. Within a couple of seconds you should appear in the live visitor view with your current page, location and device. That same visit is recorded, so you can also replay it afterwards.

5. Make visitors meaningful

Anonymous sessions are useful, but they get far more powerful once you attach a name and email. If your site has logged-in users, call identify() after login so every replay, chat and live session shows a real person instead of "Anonymous visitor".
