What happens behind the scenes

The sophisticated processes that run automatically on every page

🎯

Detection

Automatic detection of user interactions, consent status, form submissions, e-commerce events, and content engagement—all without manual configuration.

🧠

Enrichment

Every event is automatically enhanced with 30+ contextual data points: session quality, intent classification, customer segments, and behavioral patterns.

🔒

Compliance

Consent status checked automatically. Events are blocked or allowed based on CMP settings, with SHA-256 hashing and PII protection built-in.

📊

Scoring

Real-time calculation of session quality scores (0-100), engagement rates, and customer lifetime value for instant segmentation.

📡

Distribution

Events pushed to dataLayer with two-push pattern for GTM Preview visibility, then distributed to all configured analytics platforms simultaneously.

🚀

Server-Side

Critical conversion events duplicated to server-side APIs (Meta CAPI, GA4 MP) to bypass ad blockers and recover 30-40% of lost data.
