Hi. Let's install Metixon on your site in under five minutes, and start seeing your visits in real time.
1Create project: name and allowed domains
First, create your project: a name and the domains you'll send data from, comma-separated.
2Choose Web or Server and save your secret key
Now choose how to install it. Web is a script tag for your site or app; Server is the API.
Keep your secret key safe: it's only shown this once, and never goes in browser code.
3Copy the snippet and paste it before </head>
Choose Web and click Copy. The snippet already has your project's key.
Paste it on your site, before the closing head tag, and publish the change.
4Wait for the first event and Go to dashboard
Back in Metixon, the screen waits for your first event. As soon as someone opens your site, you'll know.
Click Go to dashboard, and there's your first visitor.
5The snippet is always in Settings → Installation
Need the snippet again later? It's in Settings, on the Installation card.
Create the project, copy the snippet, paste it on your site and wait for the first event. That's how fast you start.
