Advanced Tracking
API Integration
BaseCloud AT is designed to assist clients in measuring the effectivity and management of different lead generating platforms, such as your website, Facebook, LinkedIn etc.
Tracking Types
BaseCloud AT comprises of four main tracking functions:
Form Tracking: This is where the system logs any form requests from a website, Facebook, LinkedIn or any other form handler. This enables the user to see exactly where forms are originating from and how effective these forms are on the various marketing platforms. These call be pushed to the AT platform using a simple POST API explained in the next tab.
Call Tracking: You can request special tracking numbers from BaseCloud. When any of these numbers are called by a prospect/client/end-user your office number will still ring, thus the call is directed to wherever you specify. These calls are all recorded for you to access at any time. These calls are automatically logged in the AT platform as an event and you can update these events as needed.
Email Tracking: Similar to the tracking numbers provided above, BaseCloud can assist in creating tracking emails. You can places these on different places on your site or marketing platforms and thus measure the quantity and quality of leads coming form all these different places. The recipient of these emails will be as you specify.
Other/Custom Tracking: BaseCLoud AT can also track all types of different, more custom events, like specific page clicks, banner calls, flyer emails etc. The possibilities here really are endless.
Portal Views

Below you can see a basic setup in the AT portal where numerous events are listed. Here the you call see the feed and basic information relating to each event. These events can be filtered using the filters in the image above. All this data can easily be exported in CSV format if required.
If you click the info button on an event in the image above a pop-up will display all the details pertaining to the specific event. Here you can update info if needed and send/assign the event to specific event managers. These could be sales reps for example who will then manage the event accordingly.
