Step 2: Create your like widget
Once you have customized your like button, you can click on the create button so that the widget will be created.
After successfully creating your widget, you can copy the link and add it to your page in Notion.
Step 3: Check like button statistics
Once you have added your like button to your notion document, visitors to your site will be able to click this like button. Each time a visitor clicks the like button, we count all clicks from each visitor. You can always see how many people have clicked your button. With these steps, you can see the statistics of your like button:
- Click in the navigation bar on the menu "Dashboard"
- On this page, you will see all created widgets and apps
- On the like button widget you will see a small icon in the action section
- When you hover with the mouse over this icon, it will show a tooltip with the current statistic
Only you can find out how many people have clicked on the like button. Because you can define a start value, the visitor will always see a higher number. This means that only you have the possibility to know the exact number of people who have clicked on this button.
Note: The Like button provides visitors with a unique interaction opportunity. Every visitor has the opportunity to click the button to express their appreciation - however, they are only allowed to perform this process once. If the visitor accidentally clicks on the button again, the previous confirmation will be automatically revoked.
