Installing Seeka on Megatix
Installing Seeka on Megatix
Updated over a month ago

For Megatix clients, it is recommended that you connect Seeka anywhere you collect data, such as your ticketing outlet, official website, and pre-registration platforms.

Seeka is designed to be 'no-code' for the majority of installation methods, so you don't need to be nerd level 9 to install - you just need the right access.

Installing Seeka on a single Megatix outlet

The installation of Seeka on a Megatix outlet takes around 1 minute and can be implemented by anyone with admin access to Megatix and the Seeka App.

When using Seeka on your Megatix Outlet, you must ensure the pixels you use with Seeka are not also placed in the browser tracking fields in 'tracking' in Megatix, or events will double fire.

Pixels unrelated to you, such as from another marketing team, are fine to leave.

Instructions

  1. Log in to your Megatix Dashboard account.

  2. Navigate to ‘Events’ and click on the name of the event you want to install Seeka on.

  3. Navigate to ‘Reports/Tracking’ in the left-hand menu.

  4. Scroll down to 'tracking codes'.

  5. Remove any tracking pixels that you will be connecting via Seeka.

Connecting data destinations

A data destination in Seeka is somewhere you would like to send data to, such as Meta™ Ads, Tiktok™ Ads or Google Analytics 4™.

The great news is - that you only have to connect your destinations once, and then anywhere you install Seeka will automatically send that sweet rich data to your connected destinations.

Setting up Events

All standard eCommerce events are automatically set up for certain platforms, including Metatix, Shopify and Woocommerce.

Your Megatix outlet will fire the following events automatically to any connected platforms via Seeka.

  • Page View

  • View Content

  • Add to cart

  • Initiate Checkout

  • Purchase

When your outlet is in pre-registration prior to an event going live, it will fire a 'Lead' event on form submission.

These events are automatically mapped to each destination platform, and their names will vary slightly per platform; the event map library is available HERE.

WordPress and Custom Sites sites will require manual event setup, as only the 'View Page' event is automatically set up.

For festivals, venues, and artists, you would 100% want to set up events on any signup forms, including pre-registration or newsletter forms.

The great news is that Seeka has an Express Setup Tool for super fast generation of web events, including triggering web events from elements such as:

  • Sign up Forms

  • Buttons

  • Specific Pages

The Express setup tool is one of the highlights of the Seeka Product, and we encourage you to check the detailed article on it HERE.
