Our Omniconvert integration supports Hotjar Recordings and Heatmaps. The integration allows you to connect your Omniconvert A/B test experiments to your Hotjar account.
In order to use this integration, you will need an active Hotjar and Omnicovert account as well as be on one of our paid plans.
Turning on the integration
Navigate to your Omniconvert website menu and click on Integrations.
Activate the connection with Hotjar and click Save to finish.
Viewing your Recordings in Hotjar
A Hotjar Plus, Business, or Scale plan is required for applying Events to Recordings with Omniconvert.
Omniconvert's Hotjar's integration requires access to Hotjar Events. Learn more about what features are included in each of our Hotjar plans.
Enable the integration in Omniconvert and sign in to Hotjar
Once you have enabled the integration in Omniconvert and started the experiment, sign-in to your Hotjar account.
Select Recordings from your Hotjar dashboard.
Filter Recordings based on Events.
Select the type of Omniconvert tag you wish to filter by within your Hotjar Events filter. Omniconvert allows you to filter by experiment id, experiment name, variation id, or variation name.
Once the event is selected, your Omnnicovert recordings should show within your Recordings dashboard as long as Hotjar was running successfully when those sessions occurred.
