Getting started with Pulseboard

Welcome to Pulseboard! This guide walks you through creating your account, installing the tracking snippet, and viewing your first dashboard. Most teams are up and running in under 15 minutes.

1. Create your workspace

Sign up at pulseboard.example.com with your work email. You'll be asked to name your workspace — pick your company name. Each workspace starts with a 14-day Pro trial; no credit card required.

2. Install the tracking snippet

Paste the snippet below just before the closing </body> tag on every page you want to track:

<script src="https://cdn.pulseboard.example.com/p.js"
  data-key="pb_live_YOUR_KEY"></script>

You can find your key under Settings → Tracking. The snippet is 8 KB, loads asynchronously, and never blocks page rendering.

3. Verify events are flowing

Open Live view in the sidebar. Visit your site in another tab — you should see your pageview appear within 5 seconds. If nothing shows up, check that ad blockers are disabled and that the data-key starts with pb_live_.

4. Build your first dashboard

Go to Dashboards → New dashboard and add a Pageviews card. Pick a date range, then click Save. Dashboards refresh every 5 minutes on the Starter plan and every 60 seconds on Pro.

Next steps

  • Connect a data source to blend product data with web analytics.
  • Invite teammates under Settings → Team (Pro supports unlimited seats).
  • Set up a weekly email digest so metrics land in your inbox every Monday.
