What do customers do before they call or book?
On paper the path is simple: someone sees an ad, visits the site and books. In real life they search twice, read reviews and come back days later on a different phone. Each tool sees only its own piece.
How askotter handles it
askotter reads GitHub and Mailchimp side by side, so it can map the path customers take across your accounts.
A person checks the result before it reaches you. This is part of our website design for small business work.
How GitHub and Mailchimp records line up
GitHub and Mailchimp share no customer or visit identifier. askotter puts them on one timeline instead, so a change in GitHub deployments can be read against what Mailchimp recorded in the same hours.
What customer journey mapping uses from each
Customer journey mapping needs the order of events for one person.
From GitHub that means deploys that changed a step in the funnel. From Mailchimp it means the campaigns each subscriber clicked.
These two tools hold no shared customer identifier, so per-customer answers need a third connected tool that each side can match, such as GA4 or your CRM. Daily totals work with these two alone.
Mailchimp is on the integration roadmap, so the matching described here starts when that connector ships.
What each tool sees on its ownShow less
GitHub on its own
GitHub knows what code changed and when. It cannot tell you whether that change cost you leads or sales.
Timing. GitHub timestamps every commit, merge and deployment to the second.
Access. A GitHub App or token with read access to the repositories you choose.
Mailchimp on its own
Mailchimp sees who received and clicked. It cannot see what the reader did after landing on the site.
Timing. Mailchimp reports opens and clicks per campaign. Apple Mail Privacy Protection inflates opens, so clicks are the steadier signal.
Access. The Mailchimp Marketing API with an OAuth connection.
