Installing the Web Snippet

When you implement Intempt on a website, you add a small JavaScript snippet to your site’s HTML. This snippet initializes Intempt and automatically generates messages (events) based on user interactions.

In a basic implementation, this snippet is copied into your HTML to track page views and user actions without needing any custom code.

Before You Begin

Before installing the web snippet, ensure you have:

An Intempt account with an organization and project created

Access to edit the HTML of your website

If you don’t have a site to test with, we recommend creating a simple GitHub Pages website.

Create Separate Dev and Prod Projects

For clean data, create separate Intempt projects for:

Production

Development

Staging

This prevents test data from mixing with real user data.

Use environment labels to easily identify each project.

Step 1: Create a Source & Enable Autocapture

Autocapture automatically tracks:

Page views

Clicks

Input changes

Form submissions

Other common UI interactions

It works without any custom event setup and continues to track new UI components even if your frontend changes.

To set up autocapture:

Go to Integrations → Sources

Click Create Source and choose Web

Under Installation, copy the provided JavaScript snippet containing the <script> tags and initialization function

Placing the Snippet on Your Site

Paste the snippet in two locations:

The first <script> block → inside your site’s <head>

The second <script> block → right before the closing </body> tag

This ensures all page-level events and interactions are captured consistently.

Once installed, events such as clicks, form submissions, and input interactions will start flowing automatically into Intempt.

Autocapture Limitations

Autocapture is powerful, but has two limitations:

1. High-volume data can be overwhelming

Every click, input change, or submission is tracked. Without filters or defined events, this can produce noisy data.

2. Autocapture is general-purpose

While useful for broad tracking, advanced analytics require custom events so you can capture the exact behaviors that matter most.

What’s Next?

After installing the snippet and sending initial autocaptured events, you can:

Start refining your tracking with custom events

Analyze your incoming event data
