In short

How do I get my weekly Hotjar heatmap and feedback data into a spreadsheet?

WebRun pulls last week's Hotjar heatmap clicks and feedback poll responses every Monday, exports them into a dedicated tab in a Google Sheet, and emails the product team the link with a short summary of what stood out. It turns raw session data into a standing weekly record without anyone touching Hotjar directly.

  • Heatmap and feedback data lands in a sheet automatically every week
  • Past weeks stay intact in their own tab for easy trend comparisons
  • The team gets a short summary instead of digging through Hotjar

Questions, answered

Does it change anything on the site based on what it finds?

No. WebRun only exports the data it finds. Acting on a heatmap finding, like changing a page layout, is left to your team.

What counts as a notable change?

It compares each page's click pattern to prior weeks and flags a page in the summary when the pattern shifts noticeably, so the email highlights what's worth a look.

Do I lose past weeks' data?

No. Each week gets its own tab in the sheet, so history stays intact and you can compare trends over time.

Put this on autopilot.
