Guide Working with goals in Piwik Pro

To get started with goal tracking using goals in Piwik PRO, you need to do a few things. The following steps are required:

1. You use Sitevision web analytics

To double-check that you are doing this, go to Website Settings -> Integration -> Web Analytics and make sure that the box "Use Piwik PRO to collect statistics from this website" is checked. Also, make sure that you have registered cookies on the website by clicking the "Register cookies" button.

2. Create an API key in Piwik PRO

You need to create an API key in Piwik PRO to connect Piwik PRO with Sitevision.

This connection allows you to use the goals you have created in Piwik PRO directly in Sitevision's modules and also display goal tracking in a dashboard.

Create an API key by following these instructions: https://developers.piwik.pro/reference/authentication External link, opens in new window.

3. Go to Piwik PRO RESTApi

Now you need to add the API key you created in step 2 to the Piwik PRO - RESTApi add-on. Go to the cube menu -> Add-ons -> Piwik PRO - RESTApi and click on the name under versions. Then click on Settings to add the information from step 2.

Add the Client ID and Client Secret you received when you created the API key in Piwik PRO.

4. Set goals in Piwik PRO:

Here you can create goals in Piwik PRO. For example, you can create conversion goals (when a user clicks a button or fills out a form), engagement goals (when a user visits a certain number of pages), or navigation goals (when a user clicks on the menu or visits an important landing page).

1. Log in to Piwik Pro Analytics External link, opens in new window..
2. Click on the main menu Goals → Create a folder (bottom left corner).
3. Create some goals (there is a plus icon when you hover over the folder you created).

• Click on the main menu Settings → then click on Tracker debugger → 30 min should be selected (This view should be open when you test the target module and button module)
