Quickstart
From signing in to seeing your first recorded visit, in about five minutes.
All pages
You need a Google account and the ability to add a <script> tag to your site.
1. Sign in
Go to app.trysonex.com and sign in with Google. That is the only sign-in method, so there is no password to choose or lose.
First time in, sonex walks you through four steps. Only the first and third are required.
2. Create or join a workspace
A workspace owns your websites and your plan.
- Starting fresh? Name it (your company or your own name both work) and continue.
- Joining a teammate? Paste the access code they gave you instead. You inherit their workspace, its plan and its websites, and you land straight on the dashboard. The rest of this page is then already done for you.
3. Pick a plan
Free is selected by default and needs no card. Pick Pro or Business here only if you already know you need the headroom, which sends you to checkout. You can change plan later from Settings, so the honest answer for almost everyone is: continue on Free.
See Billing and plans for what each tier includes.
4. Add your website
Give it a name (what you want to see in the dashboard) and a domain (the hostname you are measuring, like example.com).
5. Connect revenue (optional)
The last step offers to connect Stripe or Polar so real revenue shows up next to your traffic. Skip it if you are not selling anything yet; you can connect it later from the website’s Settings page. See Revenue.
6. Paste the tracker
You land on the Overview, which shows a waiting for the first visit panel with your snippet in it. Copy it, paste it into your site’s <head>, and deploy:
<script defer
src="https://api.trysonex.com/sonex.js"
data-website-id="YOUR_WEBSITE_ID"></script>The data-website-id in the panel is already filled in with your real id. Take it from there rather than typing it by hand.
7. Watch it arrive
Open your site in a browser, then open Realtime in sonex. Within a few seconds you should see one active visitor: you.
The install panel disappears on its own once the first pageview lands. If nothing shows up, Verify your install walks through every reason that happens.
Next: Install the tracker for the script options, or jump to Verify your install if nothing appeared.
