What it does
The TrackCanary tracker is an optional script for live monitoring. It captures event metadata for real visitor actions so the dashboard can show recent events, counts by type, page activity, and inactivity warnings. It is separate from GA4, Meta CAPI, Google Ads API, and WhatsApp API integrations.
What TrackCanary does not claim
- It does not prove final attribution.
- It does not prove ROAS.
- It does not connect to ad platform APIs in this version.
What TrackCanary checks
- WhatsApp link clicks
- Phone link clicks
- Email link clicks
- Form submissions without storing form field values
- Important button clicks such as submit, send, contact, buy, checkout, book, and reserve
- UTM parameters, referrer, page URL, page title, and anonymous session ID
Common tracking issues
- A site has lead actions but no first-party event history inside TrackCanary.
- Teams cannot tell whether the tracker was installed or whether real clicks are arriving.
- WhatsApp, phone, email, and form actions are all mixed together in reports.
- Privacy concerns are unclear because the tracker scope is not explained.
