Top reasons to use Klipfolio for Kissmetrics dashboards

  • See behavioural data in real time. Kissmetrics tracks what users do — Klipfolio surfaces those actions as live metrics so you can act on them faster than a weekly export allows.

  • Combine Kissmetrics with other data sources. Blend behavioural data with revenue, ad spend, or support metrics in a single dashboard. Klipfolio supports 130+ connectors, so your full picture is always one screen away.

  • Build the view that fits your workflow. Use pre-built data sources to get started quickly, or write custom API queries to pull exactly the events and properties your team tracks.

  • Share insights without sharing access. Distribute dashboards via TV mode, scheduled PDF reports, or public links — no Kissmetrics login required for stakeholders.

  • Refresh on your schedule. Set data refresh rates from 1 minute to 24 hours so your dashboard reflects current behaviour, not yesterday's snapshot.

Use the Connector Gallery to create a custom Kissmetrics dashboard

With our Connector Gallery, you can create custom API queries to pull in data from your Kissmetrics account. Building custom queries allows you to specify the metrics and time periods that you want to track.

You can use custom queries to build out visualizations in Klipfolio. You can also combine your Kissmetrics data with other relevant data to create your custom dashboard.
