Profiles

Everyone you track,
and everything they did

A profile is each person, vehicle or device you track, with who they are now and everything they ever did. Any count in Countly opens onto the profiles behind it, and the same profiles are the audiences your cohorts, journeys and campaigns reach.

In this demo car app, each profile is a vehicle: who it is on the right, and every session and event it recorded over the dates above.

Part of analytics

One profile,
three layers

Everything Countly records arrives from a device and lands on a profile. Anonymous at first, identified when your app says who it is, and merged into one when the same person turns up on a second device.

Now

Who they are

Identity, device, location, acquisition and your own custom properties, as they are today. When a value changes, the old one stays visible as what it was before.

Lifetime

Their history in numbers

When they were first and last seen and how much they have done, with purchases and campaign attribution where you record them.

Every moment

Everything they did

Every session and event on a timeline and in a stream, each with the values it carried at the time. Click a session to see exactly that visit.

Support, product, success

From a name
to the whole story

A support ticket starts with a name or an email. A profile turns it into what that person actually experienced, with timestamps, without asking anyone.

  1. 01

    Search

    A name, an email, a user id, or the device id from a crash report or a support tool.

  2. 02

    Read the timeline

    How active they have been, and when that changed.

  3. 03

    Open a visit

    Click a session and the stream narrows to what happened in it, with the values each event carried.

  4. 04

    Check the tabs

    Feedback they gave, crashes that hit them, the cohorts and experiments they are in, and their consents, on one page.

Audiences

Rules for audiences that change.
Lists for the ones that don’t.

Cohorts recompute as behavior changes. Profile groups hold the sets no rule can express: beta testers, founding customers, the profiles an incident touched.

Works with

Profiles, with the
rest of Countly

Every feature reads the same live data, so an answer in Profiles doesn’t stop there. These are the handoffs built in.

Data ownership

The most personal data you hold,
on servers you choose

A profile is a person’s identity and history in one place. Deleting one removes the profile, its properties and everything it recorded, permanently: the right answer to a removal request.
