Overview

This node integrates with the Matomo API to perform various analytics and management operations. Specifically, for the 'Action' resource and 'Get Outlinks' operation, it retrieves a list of external links (outlinks) clicked by users on a website. This is useful for analyzing user behavior related to outbound traffic from the site, such as which external links are most frequently clicked. Practical applications include marketing analysis, user engagement tracking, and website optimization.

Use Case Examples
