1. The first step is the hardest part 😉 activating the plugin, already made sure you don’t have to do that step anymore
2. Step 2, takes care of selecting how do you want us to track your visitors. At Inbound Rocket we can track you visitors using standard Cookies in your browser or with a more advanced method where we use Evercookies.
3. In step 3, we will ask you “Where should we send your contact reports?”, These are the detailed history reports about your new leads after they filled in a contact form for the first time on your website. Don’t worry, you can always update your email address at a later stage. Press “Save Email” to continue the plugin onboarding.
4. Part of the power of Inbound Rocket is the different power-ups we offer to extend our functionality. In step 4 of the plugin onboarding, you can select which power-ups you already want to activate right now. Just like with step 2, don’t worry, you can always enable and disable power-ups at a later stage too. Select the power-ups that you want to activate and press “Activate these power-ups” or click “Don’t activate power-ups right now” to move to the final step.
5. Your installation is now complete and ready to start monitoring your website visitors. If you press “Complete Setup“, you can give Inbound Rocket a spin by testing it out on your website.
