Integrations / Analytics
Hotjar
Behaviour analytics platform providing session recordings, heatmaps, feedback polls, and conversion funnels.
Datafly Signal delivers first-party events to Hotjar server-to-server from infrastructure you control, using a pre-built blueprint that maps your event schema to the payload Hotjar expects.
Why route Hotjar 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 Hotjar receives the complete event stream.
One consent decision governs every destination
Hotjar 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
Vertical 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 Hotjar documentation.
Frequently asked questions
Does Datafly Signal integrate with Hotjar?
Yes. Datafly Signal delivers first-party events to Hotjar server-to-server from infrastructure you control, using a pre-built blueprint that maps your event schema to the payload Hotjar expects. The integration is included in every deployment at no additional cost.
How is server-side Hotjar tracking different from the Hotjar tag?
The Hotjar 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 Hotjar from your server, so delivery does not depend on browser conditions.
Do I need to keep the Hotjar tag on my site?
No. Signal delivers to Hotjar from the server, so no client-side Hotjar script is required on your site.
