💡 What you'll accomplish: Set up event tracking, create your first contact, and see live data in your dashboard
1

Access Your Auric Instance

Your Auric platform is available at your unique subdomain:

https://YOUR-APP-ID.auriccloud.com
Replace YOUR-APP-ID with the identifier provided in your welcome email.
First Login:
  1. Navigate to your Auric URL
  2. Enter the email and password from your welcome email
  3. You'll land on the Dashboard (currently empty)

Create Your First Event Type

Event types categorize the actions your customers take. Let's create a common one:

  1. Click "Event Types" in the navigation
  2. In the "Add Event Type" section, enter: Email Signup
  3. Click "Add" - the system creates a slug automatically (email-signup)
✓ System Event Notice "First Touch" is already there - this is automatically created for every new contact!
Suggested event types to add:
  • Email Signup
  • Demo Request
  • Purchase
  • Trial Started
3

Record Your First Event

Let's manually create an event to see how the system works:

  1. Go to the "Events" page
  2. Click "Record New Event"
  3. Fill out the form:
    • Email: test@yourdomain.com
    • Event Type: Email Signup
    • Date/Time: Leave as default (now)
    • Lead Source: Website
  4. Click "Record"
What just happened:
  • A new contact was created automatically
  • Two events were recorded: "First Touch" (system) and "Email Signup" (your event)
  • The dashboard metrics updated in real-time

Explore Your Dashboard

Now return to the Dashboard to see your data in action:

You should see:
  • Total Contacts: 1
  • Total Events: 2
  • Avg Events/Contact: 2.0
  • New-to-File (30d): 1

Try the Duration Calculator:

  1. Select "From Event": First Touch
  2. Select "To Event": Email Signup
  3. Click "Calculate"
  4. You'll see it took 0 days (they happened simultaneously)

Set Up Automated Tracking

Now let's connect your website for automatic event tracking:

Configure Allowed Origins:
  1. Go to "Ingest"
  2. In the "Allowed Origins (CORS/Referer)" section
  3. Add your website domain to "Allowed Origins" (e.g., yourdomain.com OR *.yourdomain.com for wildcard subdomains)
  4. Set your "Event Selector" and copy the code provided.
  5. Continue to Step 6...
⚠️ Security Note: Only domains in your "Allowed Origins" list can send events to your Auric instance. This prevents unauthorized tracking.
6

Install JavaScript Tracker

Add this code to your website before the closing </body> tag:

See Your App for your special tracking code...

What this does:

  • Automatically tracks form submissions
  • Captures email addresses from forms
  • Records page URLs and referrer data
  • Creates events in real-time
💡 Pro Tip: Add ?test=true to any page URL to see debug information in your browser console while testing.
7

Test Your Tracking

Verify everything is working correctly:

  1. Visit your website with the tracking code installed
  2. Add ?test=true to the URL
  3. Open Developer Tools (F12) → Console tab
  4. Fill out a form with an email address and submit
  5. Look for Auric debug messages in the console
  6. Check your Auric Dashboard/Events page for the new event
Troubleshooting:
  • No events appearing? Check that your domain is in Allowed Origins
  • Console errors? Verify your APP-ID is correct in the script
  • Form not detected? Ensure email fields are properly named or typed
