Why Use NotiProof With Hotjar

Notification click zones show up in Hotjar heatmaps
Session recordings reveal whether notifications get in the way
Tag Hotjar recordings using NotiProof events as a filter
Spot notification placements that cause rage clicks or dead clicks
Validate notification position/timing before wider rollout

Setup in 3 Simple Steps

1

Install Both Scripts

Make sure both the NotiProof snippet and the Hotjar tracking code are installed on the same pages, either directly or via Google Tag Manager.

2

Fire a Hotjar Event

Use Hotjar's hj('event', ...) API from NotiProof's notification-click callback (or via a small custom snippet) so Hotjar tags sessions where a notification was clicked.

3

Review Heatmaps & Recordings

In Hotjar, filter recordings and heatmaps by the tagged event to review exactly how users engage with or ignore your notifications.

Features

Works alongside existing Hotjar heatmaps
Session recording tagging via custom events
Visual validation of notification placement
No conflict with Hotjar's own popup/survey tools
Useful for qualitative testing before A/B rollout

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Hotjar give me conversion numbers, or just visual data?
Hotjar is primarily qualitative — heatmaps and recordings show behavior patterns, not statistically significant conversion lift. Pair it with GA4 or your own analytics for hard numbers; use Hotjar to understand the 'why'.
Is there a native NotiProof-Hotjar integration?
There's no dedicated one-click connector; the two tools run independently on the same page, and connecting them for event tagging requires a small custom script calling Hotjar's event API.
Will running both tools together slow down my site?
Both scripts load asynchronously, but adding multiple third-party scripts always adds some overhead — test page speed after installing both.
Can Hotjar recordings show me if a notification blocked a button?
Yes, session recordings can reveal overlap issues, like a notification obscuring a CTA on mobile, which is a common thing to check for after installing any popup-style tool.
Does Hotjar know exactly who converted because of a notification?
No, Hotjar doesn't do funnel attribution the way GA4 or Mixpanel do; it's best used for visual/behavioral insight, not attributing revenue to notifications.
