In this video series, we show how to add analytics to a Knack app using a tiny bit of custom-code, a [Make.com](http://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](http://Make.com) account
- A google account (with access to Google Sheets and Google Looker Studio)
