Once the snippet is live, run through these three checks to confirm that events are reaching your property.
1. Open the Realtime view
Navigate to your property in the datakant dashboard and click the Realtime tab. You should see a live session appear within seconds of opening any page on your site.
2. Trigger a test event
Click a button or submit a form. The event should appear in the Events table within a few seconds, tagged with the element name and selector — no custom code required.
3. Check the network tab
Open DevTools and filter by ingest. You should see POST requests to /api/events/ingest returning 200. Each response includes an x-request-id header for debugging.
Ad blockers and how to work around them
If events are not appearing, try a clean browser profile or disable your ad blocker for the test. For production, the server-side tracking add-on routes ingest through your own subdomain, which blockers don't recognise. See the tracking snippet guide for the switchover.
