Nalytics Overview

This collection is the front door for teams evaluating or launching Nalytics. It explains the product model, the widget-based tracking loop, and the reports that become useful as soon as the first page is instrumented.

Best first move

Set up Nalytics

Launch the workspace connection before exploring deeper reporting docs.

Primary outcome

First tracked page

Get from product context to a verified live event without guessing at the workflow.

Who this is for

New workspace owners, operators, and evaluators

Use this collection when you want the product-operational answer before you move into deeper guides and comparisons.

Getting started with the Help Center

Use the Help Center as a layered system: product docs first, then support docs, then search-driven guides.

01

The Help Center is organized around two jobs. Core docs explain how Nalytics works inside the product, while the guides and comparison pages answer deeper questions about workflow design, tooling choices, and measurement strategy. Start in the core docs when you are launching a workspace, and use the guides when you need broader examples or decision support.

  • Use the five core doc collections for product setup, page instrumentation, reporting, billing, and workspace operations.
  • Use search when you already know the question, such as invoices, databases, ownership transfer, or widget placement.
  • Use the guides, use cases, and comparison pages when you need workflow-specific guidance or competitor comparisons.
The fastest self-serve path is usually: Nalytics Overview -> Pages & Tracking -> Reports & Analytics -> Support docs only if the setup breaks.

What is Nalytics?

Nalytics is a dedicated analytics layer for Notion pages that are important enough to measure.

02

Nalytics is an embeddable analytics tool built specifically for Notion. It tracks page views, users, session time, average time on page, and visitor location for the pages you choose to instrument. It is designed for organizations, creators, founders, and operators who publish public or internal Notion pages and need reliable evidence about real readership.

  • The widget turns a normal Notion page into a measurable surface without moving the content out of Notion.
  • The dashboard turns raw events into reports that answer who visited, what they read, when they were active, and how page performance compares.
  • Tracking stays opt-in at the page level so teams can control what enters the reporting layer.

How does Nalytics work?

The widget captures page activity, Nalytics processes it into reports, and workspace owners decide which pages stay active.

03

Nalytics starts with a tracking widget embedded in a Notion page. When that widget loads, it becomes the foundation for event collection. Nalytics then processes those events into charts, trend lines, comparisons, and operational dashboards. The workspace controls which pages remain active, which pages stay bookmarked for analysis, and how tracking is rolled out across the document set.

  1. Enable a page for tracking from the Pages surface in Nalytics.
  2. Place or activate the widget so the page can emit view and interaction events.
  3. Let Nalytics aggregate those events into the overview, live, and historical reports.
  4. Review page-level performance and adjust which pages stay active, bookmarked, or excluded.
Nalytics does not infer that every Notion page should be tracked. The workspace explicitly defines the page cohort.

Set up Nalytics

Create the workspace, connect Notion, choose the right root pages, and activate tracking in one pass.

04

A clean setup starts with one workspace that maps to a clear operating context, such as a public site, a wiki, or a help center. After that, connect the Notion account that owns the content, choose the root pages that matter, and activate tracking widgets automatically or in bulk so you do not create one-off embed debt across the workspace.

  1. Create the Nalytics workspace that matches the site, wiki, or publishing surface you want to measure.
  2. Connect the Notion account that has access to the pages you intend to instrument.
  3. Select the root pages or page groups that should be surfaced inside Nalytics.
  4. Activate tracking widgets automatically for single pages or in bulk for larger page cohorts.
  5. Verify the first live event in the dashboard before expanding the rollout.
When possible, prefer automatic or bulk activation over manual embeds so the widget can also be removed cleanly later.

Reports & metrics overview

Know what each report answers before you start reading charts out of context.

05

Nalytics exposes reports for both live activity and historical trends. The goal is not to memorize every chart. It is to understand which question belongs to which report so teams do not use page views to answer a sessions question or use location data when they really need time-of-week behavior.

  • Live views report: what happened in the last 30 minutes and which pages are active right now.
  • Page views report: total page-view volume across hour, day, week, or month windows.
  • Sessions report: how many continuous reading sessions took place before 30 minutes of inactivity reset the visit.
  • Users report: how many unique readers were identified across the tracked page set.
  • New users report: how many first-time readers entered the workspace or page during the selected window.
  • Location report: where readers are coming from down to country, region, and city when available.
  • Week time report: which days and hours produce the strongest activity for the tracked pages.
  • Average time on page report: how long readers appear to spend on a page based on sequential event timestamps.
