Pop-Up Analytics

Once a Pop-Up has been live, you can track exactly how it's performing — both across all Pop-Ups at once and for each individual message.

Metrics tracked:

• Total Views – How many times the Pop-Up was shown to users.
• Click-Through Rate – Of those views, the percentage of users who tapped the call-to-action button.
• Closed – The percentage of users who dismissed the Pop-Up without acting on it.
• Do Not Show – The percentage of users who selected "don't show this again," meaning they won't see that Pop-Up in the future.

Aggregate Metrics (All Pop-Ups)

From the Pop-Ups home page, you'll see totals across every Pop-Up for a selected date range (defaults to the last 30 days, adjustable via the Start Date/End Date fields at the top right). This gives you a quick pulse on overall engagement before drilling into any one message.

Individual Pop-Up Metrics

Click into any Pop-Up and select the Metrics tab (next to Info) to see performance for that specific message. This view also includes a Breakdown by Trigger, showing how each individual trigger tied to that Pop-Up performed — useful if you've set up multiple triggers (e.g., "On app open" and "Course A: Between Hole 8 and 9" and "Course B: Between Hole 8 and 9") and want to see how each is doing.
