What is Vidalytics and Why is it Not Automatically Supported in Funnelytics Autotracking?
Vidalytics is a video hosting platform that allows users to upload and embed videos on their websites. It offers advanced video analytics and conversion tools to help businesses optimize their video marketing strategies.
However, if you are using Funnelytics for tracking your website's performance, you may have noticed that Vidalytics is not automatically supported in Funnelytics autotracking.
That is due to Vidalytics video iframe not dispatching any event unless specific integrations are enabled.
Step 1: Enable the GA/GTM integration in Vidalytics
To track your Vidalytics videos in Funnelytics, we will use the GA/GTM integration and leverage Google Tag Manager (GTM) to send events to Funnelytics. This will allow you to track important metrics such as watched percentage and other custom events.
NOTE: Paid Plan Needed
You will need to be on a Vidalytics paid plan in order to enable the GA/GTM integration and track your video views in Funnelytics
Log in your Vidalytics account
Go to Integrations
Click on the GA & GTM card
Ensure the Watched Percent checkbox is checked with 5/10/25/50/75/99 percentages
Select any additional events you might like to see
Click enable integration
Click Save
Click Republish all videos
Step 2: Access your GTM Container
The first step is to access your GTM container at https://tagmanager.google.com.
If it is the first time for you using GTM follow this GUIDE
NOTE: GTM SETUP
Since we will be using GTM for this setup we suggest you use GTM also to deploy the Funnelytics Script
Step 3: Import the GTM Template
Download the Vidalytics tracking setup from HERE
Import the tracking setup in your container following this GUIDE
Step 4: Check your Data in Funnelytics
Congratulations, you have successfully set up Funnelytics tracking for your Vidalytics videos!
Now, all you need to do is make a couple of test views on your website and check if the Video View data is getting populated in Funnelytics.
If you are not seeing any data, make sure that your GTM container is properly set up and published and that the Funnelytics GTM Tracking setup is correctly imported.
