Overview

This node integrates with the Matomo API to perform various analytics operations based on the selected resource and operation. Specifically, for the 'Visits Summary' resource and 'Get Max Actions' operation, it retrieves the maximum number of actions (such as page views, downloads, clicks) recorded for a site within a specified period. This is useful for analyzing user engagement and activity intensity on a website.

Use Case Examples

1. A user wants to fetch the maximum number of actions performed on their website during the last month to understand peak user interaction.
2. A marketing analyst uses this node to get the max actions metric to evaluate the effectiveness of a recent campaign by comparing user activity before and after the campaign.
