FAQ
Can Kaptr.me work with sites requiring login, like Google Analytics or Facebook Ads?
Yes, Kaptr.me can capture data from sites that you are logged into, allowing you to capture dynamic information like reports and statistics from Google Analytics, Facebook Ads, and similar platforms.
Is Kaptr.me’s Chrome extension able to refresh snapshots without manual intervention?
Currently, snapshots require manual refreshing through the Chrome extension. However, an “auto refresh” feature is in development and will allow snapshots to update automatically at set intervals.
Can you share dashboards publicly or with other Kaptr.me users?
Each dashboard has its own unique URL which you can share publicly, giving anyone access even if they don’t have the Kaptr.me extension. However, the viewers cannot interact with the dashboard elements directly, ensuring your data’s security.
Does Kaptr.me support privacy configurations like setting passwords for shared boards?
Kaptr.me currently allows you to set dashboards as private or public. A feature to set passwords for public boards for controlled access is on the roadmap and will be introduced in the future.
Can I embed Kaptr.me dashboards into external websites?
An “Embed Anywhere” feature is on the roadmap and is not available at the moment. Once this feature is released, you will be able to embed your dashboards on any site, including WordPress blogs, for smooth integration.
Can Kaptr.me capture data from websites with dynamic content or behind login sessions?
Kaptr.me can capture snapshots of data behind login sessions as long as your browser session is active. For websites with dynamic content, such as e-commerce stock levels or social media activity, you can refresh the snapshot to update the data.
What about data security and user privacy with the Kaptr.me Chrome extension?
Kaptr.me prioritizes user privacy by not storing personal data or login information. The Chrome extension operates only to capture specified content, and the transmission of screenshots is encrypted for security.
Does Kaptr.me maintain login states for automatic updates?
For sites that do not require frequent re-authentication, such as those without two-factor authentication (2FA), Kaptr.me can maintain the login state and refresh snapshots. However, for sites with 2FA, you’ll need to log in manually each time before refreshing the snapshot.
Will the roadmap features like auto-update and white labeling be included in the LTD plans?
Yes, upcoming features such as auto-update and embeddable dashboards, currently on the roadmap, will be included for those who purchased the LTD plans. White labeling is also being considered for future development.
Is there a plan for snapshot comparison or change notification features?
Kaptr.me is working on adding a history feature, which will allow you to compare different updates and receive notifications or emails when changes occur. AI integration is also in progress to describe what has been updated.
Can I monitor multiple accounts or profiles with Kaptr.me?
You can install the Kaptr.me extension across multiple browser profiles to manage captures from the same website under different logins. However, it’s not currently possible to manage captures across different browsers or sessions simultaneously.
Can Kaptr.me handle websites that use two-factor authentication (2FA)?
Kaptr.Me can capture data from sites with 2FA as long as you complete the login process. However, the extension themselves don’t automate or handle the 2FA input, so a manual login is required before updating your snapshot.
