Chartbeat
Server-side pageview tracking via the Chartbeat ping beacon (ping.chartbeat.net/ping). Reproduces the chartbeat.js ping as a server-to-server GET with the documented query-string fields (h, g, d, p, i, r, v, t, u, g0, g1), so real-time content-engagement data survives ad blockers and tracking prevention.
Datafly Signal delivers first-party events to Chartbeat server-to-server from infrastructure you control, using a pre-built blueprint that maps your event schema to the payload Chartbeat expects.
Why route Chartbeat through Datafly Signal
Your numbers stop depending on what the browser allows
Client-side analytics loses every visit where the tag is blocked or the page unloads early. Signal delivers from the server, so Chartbeat receives the complete event stream.
Client IP and user agent are preserved
Server-to-server delivery normally loses both, which weakens matching. Signal forwards the genuine visitor values as request headers so Chartbeat attributes the event to the right session.
One consent decision governs every destination
Chartbeat is gated by the same consent state as the rest of your stack, so a withdrawal applies everywhere at once.
What ships in the blueprint
Mapped events
_comment_chartbeat_scopepageVertical presets
Default. Each preset starts from a working configuration for that vertical rather than a blank field map.
Full field mappings, configuration fields, and troubleshooting are in the Chartbeat documentation.
Frequently asked questions
Does Datafly Signal integrate with Chartbeat?
Yes. Datafly Signal delivers first-party events to Chartbeat server-to-server from infrastructure you control, using a pre-built blueprint that maps your event schema to the payload Chartbeat expects. The integration is included in every deployment at no additional cost.
How is server-side Chartbeat tracking different from the Chartbeat tag?
The Chartbeat tag runs in the visitor's browser, so it is subject to ad blockers, tracking prevention, and page-unload races. Signal collects the event through a first-party endpoint on your own domain and delivers it to Chartbeat from your server, so delivery does not depend on browser conditions.
Which events can Signal send to Chartbeat?
The blueprint ships with mappings for _comment_chartbeat_scope, page. Any event in your schema can be mapped to Chartbeat through pipeline configuration without a code change.
Do I need to keep the Chartbeat tag on my site?
No. Signal delivers to Chartbeat from the server, so no client-side Chartbeat script is required on your site.
