Use the Kartra tracking code to see visits on pages hosted outside Kartra included in your account analytics. A unique tracking code is generated for each funnel in your account and can be found in the real-time analytics dashboard.

Web pages or sites built and hosted outside of Kartra are considered "external" to your account. If external locations are part of a funnel you are tracking in Kartra, a unique embed code is required to ensure that Kartra can identify those pages as part of your flow.

When the tracking code is added to an external page, Kartra can display visitor statistics in the funnel's real-time analysis. 

Important:

If the external page has a Kartra object on it (such as a form, checkout, video player, etc.) the funnel tracking code is not needed. Tracking is already provided by the code you used to add the object to the page.

How to track external pages in real-time funnel analytics

The tracking code for Kartra funnels is in HTML format, using <script> tags.

Get the tracking code from Kartra

  1. Go to Funnels > Analytics
  2. Click Select funnel... in the top right of the page

    Select a funnel from the analytics drop-down

  3. Click the Tracking code button at the top of the canvas

Install the tracking code in an external page

  1. Log in to the hosting service where your external page is located and open the page for editing.
  2. Paste the Kartra tracking code just before the </body> or </head> tag in your external page source code. (Shown in the following image before the </body> tag. This tag is found at the very end of the source code.)

    Depending on your external page editor, you may have a dedicated field for this or you can add the code snippet directly to your source code.
    • If you are not sure how to edit your external page's source code, contact your web implementation team or website service for help. HTML coding knowledge may be required.
    • Guides for some common providers are provided in the next section to help you get started.
  3. Go back to Kartra and add the URL for the page where you placed the code:
    1. In the real-time analytics canvas, locate the object in the funnel flow that represents the external page
    2. Click the object and click Configure

      Add the external page URL to your Kartra funnel
    3. Paste the URL for the external page where the tracking code was added. Repeat this for any other external pages in the funnel.

Note: Tracking and displaying visitor data from an external source requires two parts: 

  1. The funnel tracking code must exist in the source code of the external page, and 
  2. The URL for the external page must be added to an asset object in the Kartra funnel flow.

Adding HTML code to WordPress

Adding code to a WordPress theme

WordPress allows users to edit theme files directly with these steps:

  1. Navigate to the WordPress dashboard.
  2. Go to Appearance > Theme Editor.
  3. Find the footer.php or header.php file.
  4. Paste the tracking code just before the closing </body> or </head> tag.
  5. Save changes.

Note: If you update the theme in the future, these changes will be lost. WordPress recommends using a child theme to avoid this.

Adding code with a WordPress plugin

Install a plugin (like “Insert Headers and Footers” or “Header and Footer Scripts”) that allows you to paste the tracking code without editing theme files. Each plugin will have its own installation and use information.
