By utilizing a funnel approach, it tracks customer interactions from initial contact through integration to steady-state usage, allowing businesses to understand API stability, customer satisfaction, and usage patterns. The platform emphasizes developer attribution by identifying marketing channels that lead to conversions and long-term engagement, using a JavaScript-based SDK for browser data capture similar to Google Analytics. This SDK collects campaign data, including UTM parameters, to associate API requests with marketing efforts, enabling companies to assess the effectiveness of different channels.
