HockeyStack Implementation Process
Before you get started...
Most HockeyStack customers designate HockeyStack Admins to build out reports for the Marketing team, present insights, and manage the data dictionary.
If your organization doesn't have a dedicated Admin Team, not to worry! The product doesn't require any technical knowledge, and your CSM will always be available to guide you,
Handoff
- Provide you with a list of questions that will inform our initial dashboard setup
- Create a dedicated Slack channel for faster communication
- Create your HockeyStack account and invite relevant stakeholders as team members
- Connect your CRM, marketing automation, ad platforms, and any other integration with one click
- Place the HockeyStack script into your website
- Answer the onboarding questions
Technical implementation is now completed!
