Welcome to Zenovay! This quick start guide will have you tracking visitors and viewing analytics in just a few minutes.

What You'll Need

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • A Zenovay account (free tier works great to start)
  • Access to your website's HTML or a supported CMS (WordPress, Shopify, etc.)
  • About 5 minutes of your time

Step 1: Create Your Account

If you haven't already, head to app.zenovay.com and create your free account. You can sign up with:

  • Email and password
  • Google account
  • GitHub account

Free accounts include 3,000 events per month, 1 year of data retention, and 2 team members. Perfect for getting started!

Step 2: Add Your Website

Once logged in, click "Add Website" in your dashboard. Enter your website's domain (e.g., example.com) and click Create.

Zenovay will generate a unique tracking code for your site.

Step 3: Install the Tracking Script

Copy the tracking script from your dashboard and add it to your website. The script looks like this:

<script
  defer
  src="https://api.zenovay.com/z.js"
  data-tracking-code="YOUR_TRACKING_CODE"
></script>

Add this script to the <head> section of your website, just before the closing </head> tag.

Using a CMS?

If you're using WordPress, Shopify, or another CMS, check our integration guides for platform-specific instructions.

Step 4: Verify Installation

After adding the script:

  1. Visit your website in a new browser tab
  2. Return to your Zenovay dashboard
  3. Check the Live tab to see your visit appear in real-time

If you see your visit in the Live tab, congratulations! Your tracking is working correctly.

Step 5: Explore Your Dashboard

Now that tracking is set up, explore the key features:

  • Analytics Tab: View visitor trends, traffic sources, and geographic data
  • Live Tab: Watch visitors on your site in real-time
  • 3D Globe: Visualize your global traffic on an interactive globe
  • Sessions: Replay user sessions to understand behavior (Pro plan)
