This page is a high-level introduction to the Atlass Platform, including it&#8217;s components, what is does and how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>What is Atlass?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Atlass<\/strong> is a Customer Data Platform (CDP), which means that we provide a service that simplifies tracking, collecting and processing of data from the users of your digital properties (websites, apps, etc). With Atlass, you can collect and process customer data and hook up new tools, allowing you to spend more time analyzing your data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also enrich the customer data you collect by connecting data from your other tools, and then aggregate it to monitor performance, inform decision-making processes, and create uniquely customized user experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>What does Atlass do?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In it&#8217;s simplest form, <strong>Atlass<\/strong> generates events about what\u2019s happening in your website ( clicks ), then translates them into different formats in order to be analyzed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>How does Atlass work?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>First, we set up source parameters to track the origin of your leads. Then, our libraries will catch every interaction, every click in order to determine the lead&#8217;s journey. Finally, we use conversions to identify which actions the user took on your website. We can also track and mark every step of the lead&#8217;s journey using milestones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Atlass<\/strong> transforms the events pick up by our code into tags, which describes the interaction the customer made:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>!tags<\/strong> &#8211; <strong>segmentation tags<\/strong>, used for segmentation purposes ( segmenting leads into lists ) or to track the lead&#8217;s step \/ page in the funnel<\/li><li><strong>@tags<\/strong> &#8211;  <strong>source or origin tags<\/strong>, going from organic source ( direct traffic, email campaigns, direct searches, affiliate etc ) to paid ads<\/li><li><strong>$tags <\/strong>&#8211; <strong>conversion tag<\/strong>, showing a completion of a set goal<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4>What are conversions?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conversions<\/strong> are actions that occur when a visitor to your website completes a desired goal, such as filling out a form, signing up for a webinar or making a purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can create conversions from the designated Setup section, on this <a href=\"https:\/\/theatlass.com\/app\/setup\/conversions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">link<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/theatlass.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/conversions_1-e1607258111989-1024x350.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theatlass.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/conversions_1-e1607258111989-1024x350.png 1024w, https:\/\/theatlass.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/conversions_1-e1607258111989-300x103.png 300w, https:\/\/theatlass.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/conversions_1-e1607258111989-768x263.png 768w, https:\/\/theatlass.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/conversions_1-e1607258111989-1536x526.png 1536w, https:\/\/theatlass.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/conversions_1-e1607258111989.png 1686w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When creating a conversion, a $tag will automatically generated based on the name. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-lazyblock-bootstrap-alert lazyblock-bootstrap-alert-2ohLQS\"><div class=\"alert alert-info \" role=\"alert\">\n    Keep in mind that the tag cannot be changed after the conversion was generated.\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h4>What are automations?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Automations<\/strong> are steps that track the position of a customer in a funnel.
