Create your first product

A product is the place where you view analytics for one business or application. It can contain a website, a desktop app, or both. Website visitors and app installs remain separate audiences.

Set up the product

You need access to the website or app you want to measure: your own project's code or site-builder settings. If you don't have a Jelto account yet, create one.

  1. Open All products → New product; an account with no products opens New product directly. The initial form is Add a website.
  2. For a website, enter Website URL and choose Create website. Jelto fills in the website name and your browser's reporting timezone; choose Edit to change them first. The URL accepts a full address or hostname; use the main published host. Jelto also registers the matching www or non-www hostname: entering example.com or www.example.com allows both. No extra hostname is added for other subdomains (such as blog.example.com), IP addresses or localhost.
  3. If you only have a desktop app, choose I only have an app, enter the app product name and choose Create an app product. Choose Edit first to change its reporting timezone. You can add a website later.
  4. Website creation opens the guided Install tracking step, followed by optional First goal and revenue setup. Select This website also has an app to include Set up SDK. You can finish later and return through Finish setup in the product list.
  5. In Settings → Installation → Allowed hostnames, register any other hosts that will send traffic, such as docs.example.com or shop.example.com. If an existing website lists only one of example.com and www.example.com and your site serves both, add the other one. For a desktop app, open Settings → Installation → Apps, choose its framework and every operating system you release, then initialize the SDK as shown there. App-only creation opens that Apps page directly.
  6. Use Settings → Overview to review the product name and reporting timezone before comparing dates.

Connect the first source

Check the result

Follow Verify website tracking or the per-app activity checks. Then read your dashboard. Until the first pageview arrives, its website section reads No web data yet, with links to Add the snippet and Check Allowed hostnames. Empty cards before any data arrives do not mean that you need to create another product.

Trial and development products

The 14-day trial includes two products, which share the trial’s usage allowances. Use the second for development: name it something like My app — Development and put its product ID (a public value such as prd_8f3kq2m9x1) in development builds so test events stay out of production reports. Starter includes one product after the trial. Product deletion has a seven-day cancellation window, so before choosing Starter, delete the development product and allow at least seven days for deletion to finish, or choose Growth to keep both.

Next steps

Create a goal for an action such as signup, then build a funnel to see how website visits reach it. Invite collaborators through Team.
