If you’ve been developing for WordPress.org for a while, you probably know that there’s almost no data about your users that’s available for you to use.
Now, finally, WordPress developers can make data-driven decisions about their products, using the Freemius Insights advanced analytics!
After following the instructions and integrating the Freemius SDK into your product – Freemius Insights will automatically become operational, and begin to capture data from your product’s users. Data from every user that opts-in will be saved and displayed on your Freemius dashboard in a way that facilitates recognizing any tendencies/behaviors among your users, as well as identify any issues your users may be having with your product.
Here are some examples of the things you will be able to learn about your users right out of the gate:
Your Users
When a user opts-in you are immediately able to see the following details about them on your ‘Users’ table:
- Email address + Gravatar (if they have one)
-
Whether or not they’ve verified their email address
-
Their name
-
Any payments they’ve made
-
Registration date
You can easily dive deeper into each user’s profile and learn even more about them, as well as edit their data.
Learning who is using your product is crucial for your product’s growth and improvement. Knowing who’s using your product enables you to aim better when trying to increase their user experience, or maybe even reset your means, if you discover your users are completely different than the ones you initially thought would find your product useful.
Click the user’s name to inspect their page. You’ll be able to:
