The situation
Running the business on two platforms kept content and users manageable, but it split the data. The WordPress site and the Thinkific courses each had their own users and their own analytics, so behaviour couldn't be followed across them, and the team couldn't see how a visit turned into a course and a course into completion.
What we did
- Found the common identifier: the user's email address, the one thing present on both platforms.
- Put Mixpanel on both. Every visitor gets a distinct ID on the website; when they sign up for a free trial or the newsletter, that ID is linked to their email, and when they log into a course with the same email, the two profiles merge into one.
- Tracked the course behaviour that matters in Mixpanel: course engagement, completion rates and user feedback.
- Built dashboards for revenue over time, sessions, weekly active users and new users.
What moved
One user profile now spans both platforms, from the first website visit to course engagement and completion. The dashboards give the team up-to-date numbers to adjust their marketing and improve the courses based on what learners actually do.
