The catch is that it\u2019s often difficult to <a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/predictive-customer-analytics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">predict <\/a>what event data you might need in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Autocapture solves the problem. Product, <a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/b2b-marketing-team-structure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">marketing<\/a>, and design teams can now view all event and <a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/feature-usage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">feature usage<\/a> data and use it to create reports or segments.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"eav2m\">The benefits of Userpilot autocapture: More powerful analytics<\/h2>\n<p>Thanks to the autocapture feature, there\u2019s no need to tag events at all. As long as autocapture is enabled, we track all data automatically from the moment you install Userpilot\u2019s code. All the <a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/click-tracking-saas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">clicks<\/a>, hovers, and text inputs.<\/p>\n<p>How does it benefit your team?<\/p>\n<p>For starters, Userpilot autocapture <strong>reduces the manual work<\/strong> for your team members, improving their efficiency and <a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/ai-productivity-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">productivity<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The main advantage, however, is that the collected data is more reliable.<\/p>\n<p>When you tag events manually, there\u2019s always a risk you forget about an event, which results in data gaps. <strong>Autocapture reduces the risk and improves data integrity.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s more:<\/p>\n<p>Autocapture helps you <strong>reduce <a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/types-of-bias-in-surveys\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bias <\/a><\/strong>resulting from selective data collection.<\/p>\n<p>If you choose not to track a vital event, you won\u2019t get a complete picture or might miss key <a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/user-insights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">insights <\/a>or dependencies.<\/p>\n<p>It gets better: Thanks to autocapture, you <strong>can get the necessary insights much faster than before.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As mentioned, you don\u2019t always know what data you might need in the future. This means that if you need answers to a question, you first need to tag the event and then wait for the data to accumulate. This takes time.<\/p>\n<p>With autocapture on, <strong>you always have access to all the data you might ever need.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And the<strong> data is actionable.<\/strong> You can use it to trigger <a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/onboarding-flow-best-practices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">onboarding flows<\/a> or surveys automatically.<\/p>\n<p>This allows you to engage your customers at the right moment. For example, you can offer them <a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/in-app-guidance-saas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">guidance <\/a>on how to use a new feature when they hover over it.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, <strong>autocapture <a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/data-democratization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">democratizes access to data<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Even non-technical team members can access the necessary data without relying on engineers or data scientists. This promotes a culture of<a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/data-driven-insights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> data-driven<\/a> decision-making and enables you to better capitalize on new opportunities.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"5cfll\">How it works<\/h2>\n<p>To use the Userpilot autocapture feature, make sure it\u2019s enabled.<\/p>\n<p>You can check it in <strong>Settings<\/strong>, which you can find by clicking <strong>Configure <\/strong>in the site bar menu.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image strchf-type-image regular strchf-size-regular strchf-align-center\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-static.userpilot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image_a324c70ef6f09dd15df48cdec158ffef_800.png 1x\" media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-static.userpilot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image_a324c70ef6f09dd15df48cdec158ffef_800.png 1x\" media=\"(min-width: 769px)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-static.userpilot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image_a324c70ef6f09dd15df48cdec158ffef_800.png\" alt=\"Userpilot autocapture: You can find the Raw events settings in the Configure menu on the left hand side.\" \/><\/picture><figcaption>You can find the Raw events settings in the Configure menu on the left-hand side.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Next, scroll down to <strong>Raw data settings <\/strong>at the bottom.

You can collect both quantitative and qualitative customer data, analyze it, and act on the insights. For example, by providing contextual guidance.<\/p>\n<p>This is a <strong>much more comprehensive solution<\/strong> than a dedicated analytics platform. Instead of three tools, you have only one to implement and manage. And <strong>only one subscription fee to pay. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, as we mentioned before, Only Heap, Fullstory, and Posthog offer such functionality among the dedicated <a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/product\/product-analytics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">analytics platforms<\/a>. Mixpanel doesn\u2019t, and neither do our leading competitors, Appcues, Whatfix, or WalkMe.<\/p>\n<p>Talking about subscriptions, Userpilot has <strong>a more transparent and competitive<a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/pricing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> pricing<\/a> structure<\/strong> than other tools.<\/p>\n<p>For example, PostHog charges you per event, which makes it difficult to budget. How can you know how many events your users complete? Userpilot plans are based on monthly unique users, which is much easier to estimate.<\/p>\n<p>Pendo, the only other <a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/digital-adoption-platform-dap\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DAP<\/a> that offers autocapture, doesn\u2019t provide pricing information on their websites, but it\u2019s a well-known fact that it\u2019s an expensive tool.<\/p>\n<p>The next reason is that as a B2B solution, Userpilot supports <strong>company-level segmentation.<\/strong> Other tools, catering to B2C or e-commerce businesses, allow you to <a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/product-user-segmentation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">segment only individual users<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Userpilot offers <strong>support via live chat to all our customers and a dedicated <a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/saas-customer-success-guide\/\">Customer Success Manager<\/a><\/strong> for Growth and Enterprise subscribers. No other tool at this price point can match it.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"do94j\">Learn more about capturing events at Userpilot<\/h2>\n<p>The autocapture feature brings a new quality to your product analytics. You no longer have to worry that you forget to track key events and can lean into historical data to get the most out of future opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to learn more about Userpilot\u2019s autocapture and how it can improve your ability to extract actionable insights from user behavior data, <a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/userpilot-demo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">book the demo!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Autocapture is a new Userpilot feature.
