Based on this, you can make informed and effective decisions regarding, for example, the allocation of the promotional budget for each marketing channel promoting your webinars.

Why don't my Source Tracking statistics show any registrants?

Make sure there is a registration form connected to the event. This function does not work with the lead form.

I noticed some discrepancies between the number of attendees in the statistics and the actual number at the event - where do the differences come from?

The Source Tracking function is based on cookie technology. When a registered participant clicks on a link, a specially prepared cookie is saved. It is stored for 30 days, so if the participant registered for the event earlier or cleared the list of cookies in the meantime - our system will not include him in the statistics.
