I’m working on a project where we use Miro boards like an online magazine. We need to monitor how many people visit our board and see patterns over time, similar to what you get with Google Analytics.
The problem is that Miro doesn’t seem to have this feature built in. I’ve tried a few different approaches but haven’t found a solution yet.
First, I checked the Miro API documentation to see if I could pull view data programmatically, but the endpoints don’t include visitor metrics. Then I thought about adding Google Analytics tracking, but there’s no way to inject custom code into a Miro board.
I also looked at the admin dashboard in Miro, but it only shows company-wide usage data. When you have hundreds of boards, you can’t see stats for just one specific board.
Has anyone figured out a creative way to track individual board visits? Maybe through a proxy service or some kind of wrapper? Any ideas would be really helpful.
try using zapier or similar automation tools to log board shares/invites automatically. whenever someone accesses your board through email invites it can trigger a webhook that logs visitor data to google sheets or airtable. not perfect tracking but better than nothing and dosent require custom coding
After dealing with this exact problem for our design team, I found a somewhat unconventional approach that works reasonably well. Since Miro boards can be shared through email invitations, I started using UTM parameters in the sharing process combined with a simple tracking spreadsheet. When someone requests board access, I send them a custom link that first goes through a lightweight tracking page on our company website before automatically redirecting to the Miro board. The tracking page logs the timestamp, referrer, and user agent data to a database. It adds maybe two seconds to the user experience but gives us the visitor analytics we needed. The key is making the intermediate page load fast enough that users barely notice it. This method has helped us identify which boards get the most traffic and peak usage times, though you still miss out on session duration within Miro itself.
We ran into the same issue when using Miro boards for client presentations. What ended up working was using a URL shortener service like Bitly or creating custom short links through our domain registrar. Both options provide decent analytics on click-through rates and geographic data. You can create unique shortened URLs for each board and track them separately. The downside is you only get data on initial clicks, not actual engagement time or return visits within the board itself. For more detailed tracking, we started requiring board access through a simple form on our website where we could capture user info before providing the Miro link. It adds an extra step but gives much better visitor insights than relying on Miro’s limited dashboard.
honestly this is tricky with miro’s limitations. one workaround ive seen is creating a landing page with tracking before redirecting to the board - not perfect but gives you some data on clicks at least. another option is embedding the board in an iframe on your own site where you can add proper analytics
I worked around this limitation by using QR codes paired with a simple redirect service. Instead of sharing Miro board links directly, I generate QR codes that point to a basic tracking endpoint on our server which logs the access and immediately forwards users to the actual board. This method captures visitor data without requiring users to fill out forms or notice any significant delay. The approach works particularly well for printed materials or presentations where you want people to scan and access boards. You get timestamps, IP addresses, and basic device information before the redirect happens. Setting up the redirect service took about an hour using a simple PHP script on shared hosting, and now we have reliable visitor counts for each board without depending on Miro’s API limitations.
