Identify
Identification helps you understand which individuals (Visitors) and/or organizations (Accounts) are most engaged with your Navattic demos. This section covers the various methods of identifying Visitors and Accounts in Navattic.
Once a Visitor is identified, you can:
- Send combined visitor and demo engagement data to third-party platforms for additional analysis (ex. see in Hubspot, "Jessica at Navattic viewed 8 steps of the Get Started Product Tour")
- Personalize demos for the visitor (ex., "Hi, {firstname}, welcome to your demo!")
Once an Account is identified, you can:
- Prioritize your most engaged Accounts in ABM strategies
- See which demos the Account interacted with to prepare relevant resources
- Send this data to Slack, Salesforce, or Hubspot to alert the right teams
Navattic supports 4 methods of identifying visitors, which are covered in detail below.
- Identification via Forms
- Identification via Demo Share Links
- Identification via Query Strings
- Identification via JavaScript
Forms are the most straightforward way to identify demo visitors. You may create a form directly within Navattic or set up an integration involving a Hubspot or Marketo form.
A Navattic Form is the quickest way to collect contact information from a demo viewer. Forms gather information about your user such as name, email, and company. Forms can also include checkboxes and other custom text fields.
To include a Navattic Form in your demo, visit the Flow Builder > add a Step > select the "Form" step type > customize the fields that appear in your form. This form will now be used to collect Visitor information in this demo.
Tip: Navattic Forms may be positioned anywhere in your demo. If you notice over 80% of visitors dropping off at the form gate, we recommend:
- Add more context to your form (what do visitors get if they fill out the form?)
- Move the form to slightly later in your demo (right after a demo wow moment)
- Adjusting the number of fields in your form (1-2 fields recommended)
This is a good option if you already have a Hubspot form already on your website that Visitors may interact with separately from your demo. Visit HubSpot Forms for detailed setup steps.
This is a good option if you already have a Hubspot form already on your website that Visitors may interact with separately from your demo. Visit Marketo Forms for detailed setup steps.
If you already know your demo recipient's email, you may prefer to add user identification tokens directly to the demo link. This works similarly to a form, except you are filling in the information rather than asking your recipient to. This is recommended if you are using demos as leave-behind assets.
To attach identification tokens directly to a Product Demo Share Link, visit your Product Demo --> Share Links --> Create Link > Identification & Personalization > add your tokens as shown below. .
Are you looking to add identification tokens at scale for mass email outreach? Read the section below on identification with query strings.
Query strings can be used to add identification tokens to demo share links at scale. This occurs outside of the Navattic app and is a quick way to identify demo recipients if you are sending a quick email or setting up an email campaign.
Full Name, Email, and Company Name can be added to any demo share link as identification tokens, using the corresponding Attribute Names:
Value | Type | Attribute Name |
Full name | STRING | user.fullName |
STRING | user.email | |
Company name | STRING | company.name |
Use this format when adding attributes to the end of any Navattic demo share link:
- navattic-demo-link?attribute=value
For example, this link will now identify the recipient as [email protected], since the "user.email" attribute is set to "[email protected]".
You may add more attributes by adding a & in between clauses:
- navattic-demo-link?user.email=value&user.fullName=value&company.name=value
If you are using a sales automation tool such as Hubspot, Outreach, Salesloft, or other similar tools that contain contact email addresses, you may use the email variable already present in these tools to identify recipients.
Simply append the ?user.email={{email}} query string to the end of your demo URL in any templates you create, and these tools will unfurl the demo URL containing the correct value.
Example link:
- navattic-demo-link?user.email={{EMAIL_VARIABLE}}&user.fullName={{NAME_VARIABLE}}
Take care to use the correct attribute name as these may vary between platforms. Here are a few common examples:
Platform | Value | Attribute Name | Complete query string for outreach |
HubSpot | {{contact.email}} | navattic-demo-link?user.email={{contact.email}} | |
Outreach | {{email}} | navattic-demo-link?user.email={{email}} | |
{{email_address}} | navattic-demo-link?user.email={{email_address}} | ||
Pardot | {{Recipient.Email}} | navattic-demo-link?user.email={{Recipient.Email}} |
Note: This method only works if your demo has been embedded via an iframe.
The following implementation will allow Navattic to receive visitor or account identification data that is gathered elsewhere on your marketing website (ex. in a Hubspot or Marketo form). Share these steps with your website team for implementation.
By including the JavaScript snippet in Step 1 of Embed Events, we unlock the ability to programattically identify users from your marketing website. The Embed Events script will expose a global window.navattic object for your marketing website to use.
To identify a user programmatically, call window.navattic.identify in your code.
This will tell Navattic to identify the visitor using the given information. Navattic will also use that information for any relevant personalizations throughout your demo.

Navattic's new Account Based Engagement feature is used to identify Company Accounts that engage with your demos, even if individual Visitors do not engage with a Visitor Identification method outlined above.
This uses Clearbit data to reveal the company and firmographic information of visitrs. A separate Clearbit license is not required in order to use this.
Each identified Account will include an engagment rating (high vs. low) based on the actions they took in your demo, the number of unique Visitors at the account who viewed your demos, the total time spent in your demos, and more. This data may be exported as a CSV or sent to Hubspot or Salesforce via a direct integration.
You can also use the Prospector feature to find target account prospects (by department) directly from Navattic to further guide your outreach.
While knowing which companies are engaging with your content is always helpful, this tool was designed especially with these audiences in mind.
Customers using gated or ungated demos in a top-of-funnel strategy:
- Navattic will identify the companies with the most unique visitors viewing your account. Use this data to set up the most effective ABM campaigns.
- Send Account-level demo engagement information to Salesforce, to be shared with SDR teams for targeted outreach.
- Supplement an existing gated demo: identify the company Accounts for Visitors who drop off without completing the current form.
Customers using demos as leave-behind assets:
- Send a real-time alert to Slack if your prospected account engages with your content
- Use Accounts to understand if your buyer or champion is circulating your demos internally, without needing to use a gate
- Send Account-level demo engagement information to Salesforce, to identify your most-engaged Accounts and influenced Opportunities
Note: This section is technical and requires (some) knowledge of JavaScript, and requires that your demo is embedded via an iframe.
If you're embedding a Navattic demo into your marketing website, you may want real-time insight into what actions end-users are performing. Some use-cases include:
- Launching a chat window if a visitor visits a certain step
- Enriching marketing website analytics with Navattic events
On each step, every Navattic project posts a message to the top window. Each message contains info about the current project, flow, and step metadata. You can listen to these events on your marketing website (or whichever website into which Navattic is embedded) by following the steps outlined in Embed Events.
