In this video series, we show how to add analytics to a Knack app using a tiny bit of custom-code, a Make.com scenario, Google Sheets and Google Looker Studio.
Why use this method?
I’ve found that Google Analytics (& similar) does not play well with Knack because:
- The code snippets provided by the software don’t register individual page views
- Knack app URLs are not human-readable
Instead of customising Google analytics to work with Knack (which can get VERY complicated) I developed this alternative solution that is simple but effective. It can be easily customised to your needs.
Prerequisites
- A Knack app
- A free Make.com account
- A google account (with access to Google Sheets and Google Looker Studio)
