Features

Behavioral Analytics

Gain deep user insights with the following powerful data analysis tools:

• Boards: In CleverTap, we have pre-built dashboards to help you answer general questions about your app usage.
• Funnels: Funnels are defined as a series of events that a user performs in a particular order. Funnels show users progress through defined paths in your app and pinpoint where they drop off between steps.
• Cohorts: Cohort analysis is a way to group users who are similarly based on who or what they have done and track their behavior over time.
• Trends: Trends provide you with the capability to understand how users are using the platform.
• Pivots: Pivot is a valuable tool for marketers dealing with large volumes of data. It helps them create concise summaries and view custom reports to obtain user insights effectively.
• Flows: Flows provide the capability to understand the ways a user navigates through an application giving a broad view of the common paths users take as well as where they get stuck.
• Analyze Events: Analyzing events helps to understand your audience's behavior comprehensively, whether you want to view which countries use your app the most or what hours of the day they might stream a show.
• Real Impact: Real Impact is a reporting dashboard that shows how and to what extent users respond to your CleverTap marketing campaigns—everything from the revenue generated to churn.
• Session Analytics: Session Analytics helps track the events that users perform within a session. Analyzing session length is a great way to measure engagement for certain apps, such as video or music streaming, news, and so on.

Campaigns

CleverTap campaigns communicate with your users at scale. Make use of the 13 different messaging channels.

Journey Orchestration
