Date Created: March 29, 2015 Last Modified: March 29, 2015

How do I connect web traffic with a Contact or Lead so that they can be tracked?

Date Created: March 29, 2015 Last Modified: March 29, 2015

In order for PowerWebTraffic to connect a website visitor’s traffic with their CRM contact or lead record, an email with a link to the website that’s being tracked needs to be sent to visitor and they need to click on that link. There are many ways to get a CRM contact/lead to click on a link, without directly telling them that you want to track their web traffic on your website.

Examples:

  • Create a workflow that automatically sends someone an email when they are created as a lead or contact in your CRM, thanking them for their interest in your company, with a link to your website.
  • Create a bulk email (by using the PowerMailChimp add-on) and send that to your contacts and leads, appending an extra little token to the ends of each URL in the email (read the blog).
  • Send an individual email from CRM, with a link in the body of the email to the website being tracked by PowerWebTraffic.

After the email message is sent out of CRM, the URLs within the email will automatically be updated with PowerWebTraffic tracking tokens. If you hover over the link in the email, you can see the appended token there.

The email message must be set regarding a lead or contact, in order for the tracking tokens to be appended automatically.

Where can I see web traffic for a specific record?

Date Created: March 29, 2015 Last Modified: March 29, 2015

You will find a PowerWebTraffic section on the Information form a record.

Contact and Lead records
When you open a contact/lead record you will notice a new tab entitled PowerWebTraffic. If this contact or lead has web traffic connected to them, you will see data within that tab on the record. The chart will show you how many pages the person visited on your website, day over day, for the last 6 months. The sub-grid displayed below the chart will show you which pages they visited on your website, over the last 6 months.

Account records
If PowerWebTraffic finds a match between the company name of any web traffic, and an account name in your CRM, it will automatically pull that web traffic into that account record. That way, you may not know who from a specific company is on your website, but you can at least keep track of the fact that someone from that company is interested in your website.

In order to best use this feature, it is a good idea to manually check for company names in the web traffic section of CRM, and modify the account names in CRM accordingly.
