Introduction

Simply Schedule Appointments is a single-page application built using Vue.js and the WordPress REST API. The following virtual paths and events are readily trackable by Segment.

To use tracking, you must embed the Simply Schedule Appointments booking form in a page or post using the [ssa_booking] shortcode, the Booking Gutenberg block, the Elementor Booking widget, or the Beaver Builder booking module.

Conversion tracking is an advanced practice, and we cannot support questions or troubleshooting related to third-party analytics software. If you need additional help, we recommend you reach out to an analytics developer.


Turn on the Tracking Settings in SSA Settings

To enable conversion tracking go to Simply Schedule Appointments > Settings and enable Tracking. If you click into the Tracking settings, you can elect to track page views and/or events.
