Overview

This node integrates with the Matomo API to perform various analytics operations. Specifically, for the 'Heatmap Session Recording' resource and the 'Get Recorded Sessions' operation, it fetches detailed data about recorded user sessions on a website. This is useful for analyzing user behavior through session recordings, helping to improve website usability and user experience. For example, it can retrieve session recordings to understand how users interact with a site, identify usability issues, or optimize conversion funnels.

Use Case Examples

1. Retrieve recorded sessions for a specific website to analyze user interactions and identify drop-off points.
2. Fetch session recordings filtered by device type or date range to study user behavior on mobile versus desktop.
3. Get detailed session data to support UX improvements and heatmap visualizations.
