# Get install steps (`analytics_install`)

Step-by-step instructions to put the counting script on a site: any html, Shopify, WordPress, Webflow or Google Tag Manager.

How to put the counting script on a site, step by step for where it runs: html (any site), shopify (the theme, plus a custom pixel that counts products viewed, carts, checkouts and purchases with revenue), wordpress, webflow or google_tag_manager.

Price: Free up to 1,000,000 reads a month for the whole account, then $0.50 per 10,000 reads. A call that fails costs nothing.

## Use it when

Someone has to add the snippet to the site, or a shop should count carts and purchases.

## Say this to your agent

> Our shop runs on Shopify. How do I add the visitor stats, with sales?

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Description | Allowed values | Default |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `site` | string | yes | The site's domain (e.g. halversoncycle.example) or its site_id. 4 to 253 characters. |  |  |
| `platform` | string | no |  | `"html"`, `"shopify"`, `"wordpress"`, `"webflow"`, `"google_tag_manager"` | `"html"` |

## Example

Written for Halverson Cycle & Repair, a bike shop with a repair workshop in Portland, Oregon.

MCP: call `analytics_install` on the MCP server `https://api.conecto.chat/mcp/analytics` with these arguments:

```json
{
  "site": "halversoncycle.example",
  "platform": "shopify"
}
```

REST:

```bash
curl https://api.conecto.chat/v1/tools/analytics_install \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CONECTO_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"site": "halversoncycle.example", "platform": "shopify"}'
```

## Response

```json
{
  "call_id": "5f0c8a2e-3b7d-4c1e-9a64-2d8e1f7b0c93",
  "tool": "analytics_install",
  "status": "succeeded",
  "replayed": false,

  "result": {
    "site": "halversoncycle.example",
    "platform": "shopify",
    "snippet": "<script defer src=\"https://cncto.co/a.js\" data-site=\"576e9320-e725-44af-a262-7210ef658a5f\"></script>",
    "steps": [
      "In Shopify, open Online Store, then Themes. Next to the live theme, open the ... menu and pick Edit code.",
      "Open layout/theme.liquid, paste the snippet just before </head> and save. This counts the shop's pages."
    ],
    "pixel": "// Conecto: counts the shop's funnel for halversoncycle.example: products viewed, carts, checkouts and purchases.\nconst SITE = '576e9320-e725-44af-a262-7210ef658a5f';\nconst send = (name, event, props, money) => {\n  const page = event.context.document;\n  const body = { s: SITE, n: name, u: page.location.href, r: page.referrer || null,\n    w: event.context.window.innerWidth, p: props || null };\n  if (money && money.amount != null) body.$ = { a: Number(money.amount), c: money.cu…"
  }
}
```

`result`: The snippet, the steps for the platform, and for Shopify the custom pixel that counts products viewed, carts, checkouts and purchases with revenue.

## Errors

| Code | Status | When | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| `not_found` | 404 | No site the business counts has that domain or site_id. | Call analytics_list_sites and use a domain from it. |
| `invalid_input` | 400 | platform is not html, shopify, wordpress, webflow or google_tag_manager. | Pick one of them; html works on any site. |
