Stream notifications are a great way to show your website visitors activities and actions done by other individuals on your website.
For example:

Stream notifications supports a variety of tracking options, including using our native apps/integrations in some of the leading platforms like:
Wordpress, Shopify, WooCommerce and Magento 1 & 2.
​
Stream notifications are the most flexible type of notifications, as it also allows showing location, product name, notification image and even supports dynamic variables in the text.

To show stream notifications, click the "New Notification" button, and select the "Stream" notification type.

Track

Select the source of events to show in your activities stream.

Form Submissions

ProveSource automatically tracks and captures form submissions in all of your website pages. To capture form submissions, the form must contain an email field, we will only ever capture:

  • Email

  • First Name

  • Last Name 

Add the URLs of pages where you have forms in your website (contact us, checkout, subscribe, etc), you can see captured submissions in the Feed page.

Webhook

The most flexible integration option to get data from external sources. Select this if you're using a 3rd party platform like PayPal, MailChimp, Teachable and more.
