Users, Leads, Identities & Stitching
Users (Leads)
A user represents a uniquely identifiable person or browser.
A User ID is generated automatically
- the first time a visitor loads a site containing the LeadBoxer tracking pixel. The ID is stored in a first-party cookie and used to recognize returning visitors.
- each time the Tracking endpoint is requested, a new User ID is generated uneless an id is provided
This endpoint supports rich filtering and parameterisation to tailor the output to your needs.
Sessions
A session captures a single visit or browsing period.
Each session has its own Session ID that can be used to retrieve the underlying events.
Identities & Stitching
LeadBoxer connects anonymous and known activity into unified lead profiles.
How identification starts
Visitors begin anonymous. We capture:
- IP address
- browser session
- referrer
- device info
Stitching logic
LeadBoxer merges sessions when:
- a form is submitted
- an email link is clicked
- a login event is sent
- an identifier (email/userId) is attached
Why stitching matters
Without stitching:
- you get fragmented visits
- leads appear multiple times
- scoring becomes inaccurate
With stitching:
- behavioural history merges
- lead scoring is reliable
- leads qualify faster
Tips
- Pass userId on login
- Use email parameters in newsletters
- Ensure form tracking is enabled
