Pulse Dashboard overview
A guided tour of every panel, every control, and the order to read them in.
Pulse is laid out top-to-bottom with the most operationally-important data on top: today's revenue and live activity. Below that, the channel breakdown that drives most decisions. At the bottom, the trend chart for context.

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘Five operational areas, top to bottom: Trial banner, KPI tiles, Channel performance, Trend chart, Date range.
1. Trial banner
If you're on the 7-day free trial, a banner pinned to the top of every Pulse view shows your trial status:
- Purple background — normal, days remaining shown
- Amber background — 2 or fewer days remaining
- Red background — trial expired (read-only mode until you start a paid subscription)
Once you're on a paid plan, the banner only reappears for billing issues (failed payment, grace period). See Trial mechanics.
2. KPI tiles
Four high-level numbers across the top:
| Tile | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Revenue | Net revenue (after refunds, excluding test/cancelled orders) for the active date range |
| Sessions | Total sessions in the date range, all channels |
| Conversions | Number of orders with attributable journeys |
| AOV | Average order value = Revenue ÷ Conversions |
Each tile shows the absolute number plus a delta vs the previous period (when comparison is enabled in the date selector).
Full reference: KPI tiles.
3. Channel performance
The table everyone reads first. Each row is a channel; columns are sessions, conversions, revenue, and percentage of revenue mix.
The model toggle in the top-right of this panel switches the attribution model:
- First — credit goes to the visitor's first session
- Last — credit goes to the visitor's most recent session
- Linear — equal share across every session
Click between them and watch the channel mix re-balance. Same data, three lenses.
Full reference: Channel performance.
4. Trend chart
A line chart of revenue (or sessions, toggle to switch) over the active date range. Useful for spotting:
- Day-of-week patterns
- Sudden drops or spikes
- The effect of a campaign launch
Hover any point for a daily breakdown. The chart respects the active date range and any active filters.
Full reference: Trend charts.
5. Date range selector
Top-right of Pulse. Defaults to Today. Pre-set ranges:
- Today
- Yesterday
- Last 7 days
- Last 30 days
- Last 90 days
- Custom range
Each preset can be paired with a comparison period ("vs previous period"). When comparison is on, KPI tiles show deltas and the trend chart overlays both periods.
Full reference: Date range and comparison.
Top-right controls
A few global controls live in the top bar of every Pulse view:
- Search (⌘K) — global search across visitors, orders, and pages
- Site switcher — if you have access to multiple sites (rare in v1, since FTS enforces 1 site per user) this dropdown switches between them
- User menu — your account, billing, sign out
Real-time vs daily-batched
Pulse is mostly real-time:
- Live Visitors counter — updates every few seconds
- Today's revenue / sessions / conversions — updates within seconds of each new event or webhook
- Channel performance for "Today" — updates in near-real-time as journeys grow
- Trend chart for past days — daily-batched at midnight in your store's timezone
Past days don't shift after midnight (each day's number is final once the day closes).
What you can't do in Pulse v1.0
- Save custom views. Date range + filter combos reset on page reload. Saved views are post-v1.
- Export to CSV. Manual exports are post-v1; only bulk data export via the (planned) read-only API will be available.
- Schedule emailed reports. Daily/weekly digest emails are post-v1.
- Edit channel rules. Channel taxonomy is fixed in v1 (see Channels and sources).
Each of these is on the post-v1.0 roadmap. Real customer signal from the v1.0 cohort prioritizes which lands first.
