Event Attribution Insights is the fastest way to explore which sources, campaigns, and touchpoints contributed to a single conversion event, down to the individual visitors who converted.

[Open Event Attribution Insights in app](https://app.oursprivacy.com/attribution/event-attribution-insights)

> **Note:** Want credit split across every touchpoint in a journey using models like Linear or Time Decay? Use [Conversion Attribution](https://docs.oursprivacy.com/docs/attribution/conversion-attribution). Event Attribution Insights is a lighter-weight, single-model view focused on exploring one event and the visitors behind it.

## What It Shows

Pick a conversion event and Event Attribution Insights surfaces how many times it happened, how it trended over time, who triggered it, and which traffic sources brought those visitors in. It's a diagnostic tool: start broad, then narrow with UTM filters to test a hypothesis about a specific channel or campaign.

## Building a Report

Navigate to **Attribution Center > Event Attribution Insights**.

### Step 1: Choose the Conversion Event and Date Range

Select the event you want to analyze from the dropdown, which lists every event your website is tracking. Then choose a date range.

### Step 2: Choose an Attribution Model

Pick how credit is assigned to a visitor's touchpoints:

| Model           | How it assigns credit                              |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| **First Touch** | The visitor's earliest session                     |
| **Last Touch**  | The visitor's most recent session before the event |

For credit spread across multiple touchpoints in a journey, use [Conversion Attribution](https://docs.oursprivacy.com/docs/attribution/conversion-attribution) instead.

### Step 3: Filter by UTM Parameters (Optional)

Open the **UTM Parameters** section to narrow the report to a specific channel or campaign with any combination of six UTM filters: source, campaign, medium, content, term, and name. Each filter autocompletes against the values seen for the selected event and date range, and you can type a custom value if you don't see the one you want.

The attribution model selector also lives in this section, so you can switch between First Touch and Last Touch alongside your filters.

## Viewing Results

![Event Attribution Insights for appointment_booked over August 2026, with four summary cards, the daily event count chart, matching visitors, top entry pages, initial and last-touch referrer tables, and session replays of the converting visitors.](https://docs.oursprivacy.com/img/attribution/attribution-img-7.jpg)

### Summary Cards

Four cards summarize the event over the selected range:

| Metric                   | Description                               |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------- |
| **Total Events**         | All occurrences of the event              |
| **Average Daily Events** | Total events divided by days in range     |
| **Peak Day Events**      | The single busiest day's count            |
| **Unique Visitors**      | Distinct visitors who triggered the event |

### Event Timeline

A chart of event count by day, so you can spot trends, spikes, and quiet periods across the range.

### Matching Visitors

A list of the visitors who triggered the event. Each row shows the visitor with their avatar and name and when they were last seen, and links to that visitor's full profile.

### Entry Pages and Source Breakdown

An entry pages table breaks the converting visitors down by the page they landed on. Below it, two side-by-side source tables show traffic source and a last-touch view, so you can see where this event's audience came from. All three tables respect your selected attribution model and UTM filters.

### Session Replays

Recent session replays for the event appear at the bottom of the report. If you have [Session Replay](https://docs.oursprivacy.com/docs/session-replay) recording enabled, you can watch the actual sessions behind the numbers.
