What Are Digital Experiences?

A Digital Experience in GTM Suite represents a website, app, or any digital property where your customers interact with your brand. Each experience gets its own tracking ID, metrics dashboard, session recordings, conversion goals, and journey maps — giving you complete visibility into how visitors move through your product.

Session Recording

Watch real user sessions with full DOM replay, event timelines, and AI-generated behavior summaries.

User Journey Maps

Visually map the key flows visitors take — from landing to conversion — and track completion at every step.

Conversion Goals

Define what counts as a conversion (page visit, form submit, custom event) and track goal completion across sessions.

Performance Metrics

Monitor visitors, conversions, conversion rate, and bounce rate with period-over-period trend data.

Supported Property Types

You can create a Digital Experience for any customer-facing property:
TypeDescription
WebsiteMarketing sites, landing pages, docs
Mobile App (iOS / Android)Native mobile applications
Progressive Web App (PWA)Browser-based app experiences
Desktop AppElectron or native desktop products
Smart TVConnected TV apps
WearableWearable device interfaces

Experience Dashboard

Each Digital Experience has a dedicated detail page showing:

Performance Overview

Four key metrics tracked against the previous period:
MetricDescription
Web VisitorsUnique visitors in the selected time range
Total ConversionsSessions where at least one active goal triggered
Conversion RateConversions ÷ Visitors
Bounce RateSessions with a single pageview and no interaction

Tracker Status

The snippet installation status is shown directly on the dashboard. A Verified badge confirms the tracker is live and sending data. See Tracker Install to set this up.

Session Recordings

Every visitor session is captured as a full DOM recording using rrweb. From the Sessions table on any experience, click View to open the session replay viewer. The replay viewer shows:
  • A video-like playback of every click, scroll, and form interaction
  • A scrollable event timeline on the right (click any event to jump to that moment)
  • Metadata: device, browser, OS, duration, referrer, and location
  • An AI Summary with engagement level, intent signals, friction points, and conversion events
Event types captured in the timeline:
EventWhat It Represents
Page ViewVisited a new URL
ClickClicked any element
Form SubmitSubmitted a form
ScrollReached a scroll depth milestone
Page ExitLeft the page
Custom EventDeveloper-defined interaction
Use the AI Summary to quickly identify friction points without watching the full recording. Look for sessions with Low engagement or flagged friction points first.

Conversion Goals

Goals define what a “conversion” means for each experience. When an active goal triggers during a session, that session is counted as converted. Goal types:
TypeTriggers When…
URLVisitor lands on a specific page (e.g. /thank-you)
EventA custom event fires (e.g. signup_complete)
Form SubmissionA specific form is submitted
You can add multiple goals per experience, and toggle each one on or off without deleting it.

User Journey Maps

Journey maps let you model the steps you want visitors to take and measure how many actually complete each one.

Building a Journey

  1. Open an experience and click Create A Journey — or go to Digital Experiences → User Journeys
  2. Choose a template (e.g. trial-to-paid, demo request, onboarding flow) or start from scratch
  3. Use the visual journey builder to drag-and-drop nodes and connect steps
  4. Configure each node (URL match, event trigger, branch logic)
  5. Save and publish to make the journey active

Versions

Journeys support multiple versions so you can iterate without breaking a live flow. Create a new version, test it, then promote it to active when ready. Only one version can be active at a time.
The journey builder is a desktop-only interface. It is not accessible on mobile or tablet screen sizes.

Experience Status

Each experience can be in one of four states:
StatusMeaning
DraftCreated but not yet tracking live traffic
LiveActively tracking visitors and sessions
PausedTracking temporarily suspended
ArchivedInactive; historical data preserved
You can change the status from the experience detail page at any time.
