To add Userstack to your Webflow project, you’ll need to follow a few simple steps. Userstack is a powerful API that allows you to gather information about your website visitors, such as their browser, operating system, and device details. By integrating Userstack into your Webflow site, you can gain valuable insights into your audience and optimize your site accordingly.
Step 1: Sign up for a Userstack account
Before you can start using Userstack with Webflow, you’ll need to sign up for an account on the Userstack website. Simply visit https://userstack.com and create an account. Userstack offers different pricing plans depending on your needs, including a free plan with limited features.
Step 2: Retrieve your API key
Once you have created an account and logged in to the Userstack dashboard, navigate to the “API” section. Here, you will find your unique API key that will be used to authenticate requests made from your Webflow site. Copy this API key as we will need it later.
Step 3: Access the Webflow Designer
Log in to your Webflow account and open the project where you want to integrate Userstack. Navigate to the “Project Settings” by clicking on the gear icon at the bottom left corner of the designer.
Step 4: Add custom code
In the “Project Settings” panel, select the “Custom Code” tab. Scroll down until you find the “Footer Code” section, which allows you to add HTML code that will be inserted at the end of every page on your site.
Note: If you only want to track specific pages or elements on your site, you can add the code directly within those specific pages or elements instead of using the footer code.
Step 5: Insert the Userstack code snippet
To integrate Userstack into your Webflow site, you need to add the following HTML code snippet within the “Footer Code” section:
<script>
(function() {
var userstackScript = document.createElement('script');
userstackScript.src = 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@userstack/userstack-js@1.1.0/dist/userstack-js.min.js';
userstackScript.async = true;
userstackScript.onload = function() {
// Initialize Userstack with your API key
var client = new UserStack.Client('Your_API_Key');
// Use the client object to gather information about your visitors
// e.g., client.parse(navigator.userAgent);
};
document.body.appendChild(userstackScript);
})();
</script>
Replace `’Your_API_Key’` within the code snippet with your actual Userstack API key that you copied in Step 2.
Step 6: Save and publish your changes
After inserting the Userstack code snippet into your Webflow project, click on the “Save” button to save your changes in the “Project Settings” panel. Once saved, you can publish your Webflow site for the integration to take effect.
Congratulations! You have successfully added Userstack to your Webflow project. Now, whenever a visitor loads a page on your site, Userstack will gather information about their browser, operating system, and device details using their user agent string.
