Configuring your website for embedded Nutshell features and analytics just became a lot simpler. We’ve streamlined things, so you don’t have to hop from one section of Nutshell to another, juggling multiple snippets and DNS entries to setup features like Nutshell Analytics, Forms, Landing pages, and Web chat.
Introducing an easier and more consolidated Setup hub with quick Tracking Snippet and Domains page access to simplify connecting Nutshell’s integrations with your website.

Bring feature embedding headaches to an end with Nutshell
Nutshell’s Tracking Snippet and Domain pages within the new Setup hub can be found in the Marketing Suite tools section of the Nutshell app, and are primarily designed to help you setup and monitor Marketing Suite features. While some of these features are available with our Marketing Foundation plan (included with all Nutshell Sales subscriptions), others are only available on our Marketing Pro plan, which comes at an additional cost.

Frequently asked questions
1. Will the tracking snippet affect my website’s performance?
No, the Nutshell tracking snippet uses asynchronous loading, meaning it loads independently without blocking your website content. The script is lightweight (typically under 10KB) and loads in milliseconds. Your pages will display normally while the tracking code runs in the background, ensuring zero impact on user experience or site speed.
2. How do I verify my tracking snippet is working correctly?
After installing the snippet, visit your website and check the Nutshell Analytics dashboard for real-time data. You can also use browser developer tools: right-click, select “Inspect,” go to the Network tab, and look for requests to Nutshell’s servers. Within the Setup hub, you’ll see real-time status indicators showing whether your snippet is active and collecting data properly.
3. What DNS records do I need to configure for email deliverability?
You’ll need three types of DNS records: SPF (authorizes which servers can send email for your domain), DKIM (adds a digital signature to verify authenticity), and DMARC (tells receiving servers how to handle unauthenticated emails). Nutshell provides the exact values to copy and paste into your DNS settings, making setup straightforward even for non-technical users.
4. How long does DNS propagation take after making changes?
DNS changes typically propagate within 24-48 hours, though some updates appear within minutes. Email-related DNS records usually update faster (2-4 hours) than website records. During propagation, some recipients might experience delays. We recommend making DNS changes during low-email-volume periods and waiting 24 hours before launching critical campaigns.
5. What data does the Nutshell tracking snippet collect, and is it GDPR compliant?
The Nutshell tracking snippet collects visitor behavior data like page views, referral sources, and form submissions—never personal information unless explicitly provided through forms. All data is encrypted and stored securely. Nutshell is GDPR compliant, giving you full control over data collection and the ability to honor deletion requests, ensuring your marketing remains both effective and privacy-conscious.
