Verify the installation

Go back to the ThoughtMetric onboarding step you were on, scroll to the bottom of the page and click Done. This brings you to the final step, where ThoughtMetric checks that the tracking code has been installed correctly. Once ThoughtMetric detects the tracking code, setup is complete and you can proceed to the ThoughtMetric dashboard.

ThoughtMetric detects a working installation by listening for data coming from your website. To speed up detection, go to your website and refresh the page a few times to send data our way.
