The MadKudu Tag is an essential element to run the Fastlane, MadSpend (and coming soon: deanonymize your web traffic). It contains a small block of JavaScript that you add to your website pages to capture data about your visitors. MadKudu Tag captures their IP address, email, location, and cookie to qualify them, personalize forms or web pages or start a retargeting campaign.

Use cases

  • With MadKudu Fastlane, you can show your Sales team calendar to very good leads requesting demo to send them straight to Sales from you website. 

  • Implementing your own web personalization forms

  • (coming soon: understand which company the anonymous visitor works for to know when companies are showing interest in your product without filling out a form! ) 

How to set it up?

The MadKudu Tag added on your website will load a personalized madkudu.js script which will essentially make a call to the MadKudu API to return a score based on the email of the visitor.

If you have installed an analytics or tracking tool like Google Analytics, Amplitude, Segment, Mixpanel..., this should be familiar to you and you may have had to install these tools JS snippet on your website already. 

You can install the MadKudu Tag on your website with either:

  • Segment (no code install)

  • Google Tag Manager (no code install)

  • Manually with your website editor (webflow, wordpress...) or custom code  

We recommend installing the MadKudu Tag via Segment. This takes just a few clicks and no code is required. (You can find the details of the steps below in this article.) Segment will load the madkudu.js automatically

F.A.Q 

Can MadKudu qualifies anonymous visitors in realtime to personalize the webpage?

The MadKudu Tag only works for identified visitors (it needs an email or domain) as of now but coming soon! 

In the meantime, this is something you can implement on your end, by deanonymizing your traffic with a tool like Clearbit Reveal and then calling MadKudu API to understand if this visitor is qualified. 

 

I'm using Segment as a destination and MadKudu as a source. Why am I seeing MadKudu.js on my website?

When you configure your website as a Segment source and MadKudu as a Segment destination, the MadKudu Tag will be automatically installed on your website.
