Before you start, make sure Crazy Egg supports the source type and connection mode you’ve chosen to implement. You can read more about connection modes here.
Navigate to the Crazy Egg destination configuration and click "Configure".
Configure your Crazy Egg account number. This should be under Account > Your Profile.
3. That's it! You should now see the enabled status next to the Crazy Egg destination.
Once the Crazy Egg integration is enabled, you can now set it as an event destination:
Crazy Egg only records data about mouse clicks and scrolls. This means it does not collect any of the data represented by other standard Freshpaint API methods.
If you’re not familiar with the Freshpaint Web SDK, you can read more here about what the page method does. A sample call looks like this:
As this method is automatically included in your Freshpaint snippet by default, you don’t need to take any further action. If you remove this default page call from your snippet for whatever reason, Crazy Egg will not be able to record heatmaps.
You can see your pageviews as heat and scroll map snapshots and recordings up to a few minutes after the pageview event. There is a longer delay before the pageview shows up in the bottom left hand corner as % of pageviews used for your account.
Set up transformations to modify your data before it's sent to your destination. Read more about transformations here.
Only client-side connection mode is available for this destination. Events originating from the user's web browser will be sent directly to Crazy Egg.
