Analytics

The Analytics tool provides usage stats and analytics for events and calendars created both within the Dashboard and through our APIs. It is built to help you better understand how your users interact with the different tools you use to share your calendars and events.

You can access Analytics here, or via the link on the Analytics product page or at the bottom of the website.

From the Analytics page, you can choose to view analytics for your Add to Calendar button widgets, the automated events, and your Calendars and Events. The Calendars and Events options will allow you to view analytics for individual calendars and events created via the Dashboard or through the Calendars & Events API.

You can change between these options using the menu on the left side of the analytics page, as shown in the image below.

Please note that analytics are not included on the Hobby or Small Business monthly plans

If you have not yet added a domain, you will need to do so in order to view analytics for any Add to Calendar button widgets on that domain. Simply click the + Add Domain, and you will be shown a page that will guide you through the process of adding your domain.

We only allow for a domain to be registered/verified once.

In case you would like a domain to be transferred to your account, then reach out to [email protected]. Please prepare documentation that you own or have access to the domain.

The following data is provided for each of your domains containing one or more Add to Calendar button widgets:

What happens to analytics when account downgrades to Hobby plan

When your account downgrades to the free Hobby plan, the analytics will no longer be accessible, as this feature is only included in some paid plans. You will still be able to access the past events for each event's event-adds, RSVP details, and other basic data, but the detailed analytics described in this help doc will be unavailable.

👍

This is a feature included in our paid plans (except for Small Business monthly)
