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 WordPress and Salesforce 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 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 journey mapping uses from each
Customer journey mapping needs the order of events for one person.
From WordPress that means the posts and pages visitors read before converting. From Salesforce it means lead conversion date and opportunity stage history.
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.
