Performance Mode is a view within each of your automation maps that allows you to keep track of automation results in real time. To get the most out of this view, it’s important to understand the various reports and stats that are available.
Performance Mode is available to all Ontraport users. For access to marketing ROI tracking stats and UTM tracking filters, you’ll need an Ontraport Pro account or above.

Understanding Performance Mode stats
Back to top
As you navigate through the reports in Performance Mode, you’ll see all the stats below. Here’s what each one means:
- Contacts were here: The total number of contacts who visited a particular element, but are not there now
- Contacts here now: The total number of contacts who are currently sitting on an element
- Contacts’ conversion rate: The rate at which contacts achieve the desired action (found on goals only)
- Conversion time: The average amount of time it took a contact to achieve a selected goal from a particular element
- Conversion point: The number and percentage of users who achieved the selected goal from a particular element
- Total visitors: The total number of visitors a page has received (on trigger elements only)
- Amount spent and average spent: The overall amount and the average amount of money contacts spent (on all products, all time) when they hit each element when viewing the Lifetime Value report
- Email stats: The number of sends, opens, clicks and opt-outs an email message has received
- Connector stats: There are two different types of stats that appear on the path (the grey line between elements). These connector stats are:
- # of contacts: The number of contacts that went down this path
- % of contacts: The % of contacts that went down this path
Filtering the stats
If you have an Ontraport Pro account or above and have UTM tracking enabled, you can also filter your stats by UTM parameters. Here’s how to use tracking filters in your automation maps.
Locate a contact's path in an automation
Want to see exactly where a specific contact has been and where they are right now in an automation? You can trace their path directly from the automation map using a URL parameter.
How do I find a contact or object record's path and their current spot in an automation?
- Find the contact record ID.
- You can find the ID in the system information tab or in the URL of your contact’s record.
- Open the automation.
- Make sure you're in Performance mode.
- Edit the URL by adding &contact_id={contact ID} to the end.
- For example &contact_id=102
- Refresh your browser window (Mac: Command + R | Windows: Ctrl + F5).
Once the page reloads, the automation map will update to show:
- A 1 on each element the contact has passed through
- A yellow circle highlighting where the contact is currently waiting in the automation

Locating other records
Follow the same steps as above to regardless of what object type you're working with, you can use &contact_id=XXXX to trace the path and pinpoint the current location of any specific record. Simply use the record's system ID in place of the contact ID number.
