From zero to dashboard in 12 minutes
A practical walkthrough: add the tracker, send your first events, build a funnel, and share a live overview your team can trust.
Most analytics rollouts drag on for weeks. This guide walks the shortest path from a new account to a dashboard your team will actually open.
Minute 0-2: Create a project
Sign up, create a workspace, and add a project. Copy the project ID from Settings under Tracking. You will paste it into the script tag in the next step.
Minute 2-5: Add the tracker
Drop one script tag before the closing body tag on your site. The tracker loads from cdn.dumbledor.com and sends pageviews automatically. No npm install, no build step.
Minute 5-8: Track what matters
Pageviews are already flowing. Add three custom events with window.dumbledor.track(): signup, add_to_cart, and purchase. Call window.dumbledor.identify() after login to link a stable user ID to the session. Open the Actions page and confirm each event appears in the live stream.
Minute 8-10: Build a funnel
Go to Funnels and define signup, add_to_cart, and purchase as steps. You will see conversion rates and drop-off between stages. Pin the overview dashboard for traffic, top pages, and country breakdowns.
Minute 10-12: Add a monitor (optional)
On Pro or Scale, create an HTTP monitor for your production URL and enable a public status page in project settings. Alerts go to email or Discord. You now have live product analytics and uptime coverage in one place.
