Which customers are about to stop coming back?
By the time you notice a regular has gone quiet, they have booked somewhere else. The warning signs were spread across your accounts: a complaint, a missed visit, a failed card payment. No single tool saw all of it.
How askotter handles it
askotter reads WordPress and Salesforce side by side, so it can spot the signs that a customer is drifting away.
A person checks the result before it reaches you. This is part of our website migration work.
How WordPress and Salesforce records line up
WordPress and Salesforce share no customer or visit identifier. askotter puts them on one timeline instead, so a change in WordPress pages can be read against what Salesforce recorded in the same hours.
What customer retention uses from each
Customer retention needs repeat behaviour from the same customer over time.
From WordPress that means content that returning customers read. From Salesforce it means renewal dates and open cases per account.
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.
Salesforce is on the integration roadmap, so the matching described here starts when that connector ships.
What each tool sees on its ownShow less
WordPress on its own
WordPress knows what is published and when it changed. Without analytics beside it, it has no idea which pages bring in work.
Timing. WordPress stamps the publish and modified date on every post and page, which marks exactly when content changed.
Access. The WordPress REST API with an application password.
Salesforce on its own
Salesforce sees leads, accounts and opportunities. It knows which campaign produced a lead only when someone records it there.
Timing. Salesforce opportunity stages move when someone updates them, so pipeline data is as current as the team's CRM habits.
Access. A connected app with read-only access to Lead, Contact, Account and Opportunity.
