How to view customer journeys with Customer Paths

Learn how you can view the entire customer journey from the different touchpoints to purchase based only on clicks

Customer Paths shows you your entire customer journey from the different touchpoint(s) to purchase based only on clicks in Accrual, not views. (For views, see Clicks and Views model)

Customer paths provide the breakdown of touchpoints, including specific campaigns or marketing assets, the number of people that clicked that touchpoint, touchpoints converted to purchase, and the total revenue from that customer.

📚 EXAMPLE: If we launched a Memorial’s Day ad on Facebook, we can see that 800 people clicked on the ad, about 105 converted, and we netted $6000 in revenue.
