Latest update

Jul 2024

Live user count added to web analytics

In addition to a bunch of behind-the-scenes changes, such as tweaking the channel type attribution logic, Robbie has also added a live user count to the web analytics beta.

This works similarly to the live user count in the recently added real-time live events, but is much more conveniently located and a little simpler in implementation. Check it out!
