Tracking Views or Usage of My Prototypes

Try Preely.

They have a plugin on Figma. You can export the prototype to Preely and test it over there!

+1 to this! It would reduce the need for more (expensive) tools in our workflow, and would make user testing a breeze. It’s also important for us to keep prototypes secure (no plugins) for confidentiality reasons so having analytics inside Figma would be amazing.

+1 💔

Wondering if it would be technically possible to do click tracking in a Figma prototype. Our use case is a sort of card sorting exercise where we are using interactive components to turn on or off a checkbox, but we have to manually observe the user to get data. Ideally we could add some sort of simple tracking and collect data that way, but I didn’t see anything, which makes me guess its not technically feasible.

+1 I would love to see at least some basic stats like how many people viewed the prototype maybe if possible where they clicked, scroll depth, etc… that would be amazing.
I wouldn’t go overboard as there are other integrations like Maze for example but still would be really cool to have everything in one experience.

Analytics will be quite helpful and please release not only for organization plans but also for pro users like me.

I too would love this feature – in my case I work for an agency and would like to gauge how much the client I send prototypes to actually bother with clicking it through.

A simple view count to begin with would suffice.

More details like which actual screens they viewed and where they clicked would be nice to have, but not a must have.

+1. Great idea.

Yes please, great idea!

+1 it would really make prototype embeds much more useful. Hope Figma will develop this.

+1 need this asap

Would very useful. Products like Walnut.io have analytics built in and ability to edit CSS. Webflow.io I expect you could code in Heap or Google. Maybe with code version of Figma dev or UX could embed analytics 3rd party to existing accounts?

It is embarrassing. I have to ask clients “Are you viewing it now? Tell me what screen you’re on now so I can tell you about it” 🤦‍♂️

This feature would be awesome!!

+5 to this. I really need this to understand. This will help to identify how many have actually seen.

My workaround : https://www.shorturl.at/

You shorten your prototype url in this tool, then you are able to track the traffic on this specific URL.

As all designers nowadays know apps are increasingly being created using the UCD (user centred design) method, which got me thinking that Figma could add a feature that records how a user moves around in the Figma prototype. It would be handy to be able to hand over one of our devices and at the end of having it do a user test on our prototype to have some results, (like heatmaps of where the user clicked/tapped), and other interesting data to use. I am not talking about plugins or external companies, but the possibility of doing this directly is Figma.
It would be soo cool!

This is really needed, especially for unmoderated user research.

You can try Toaster; it’s a simple analytics tool for prototypes that records user interactions.

We recently built it and launched the web app on Product Hunt as well

The Figma plugin is coming soon as well 🙂
