In contrast to other tools that employ synthetic data or simulated user scenarios with static paths, Trackingplan collects navigation sessions from users visiting your sites and apps in real-time. This enables deep investigation into how events were tracked— what events were triggered, in which order, which pixels were fired, and whether any tracking issues occurred. > As a result, Trackingplan’s Session Finder helps you build a reliable and accurate data map of the user journey, exactly as it happened across all your analytics and marketing platforms. ![](/images/spr-80e8b98f-Screenshot_2025-04-15_at_15.30.png) Let’s explore some practical use cases with examples: ### Filter sessions based on event conditions > Search for sessions that **include**, ** exclude**, or ** follow a specific sequence** of events. ![](/images/spr-4f9bb779-91206cc8-8d46-4fcd-8480-cc6944182be5.png) For example: - Sessions that include a `purchase` event in any of your providers, so you can build a complete data map of what each of your analytics and marketing platforms captured. ![](/images/spr-b550c4e7-423df998-30c4-43ee-9f90-3b8b6e98ae03.png) - Sessions where a user triggered `view_item` → `add_to_cart` → `purchase` in that specific order. ![](/images/spr-38bf6632-Screenshot_2025-07-16_at_12.03.png) ### Combine multiple conditions > You can also add multiple filters using **AND** logic to find tracking issues and inconsistencies. - Sessions that contain an `add_to_cart` in `GA4` but not in `Meta`. ![](/images/spr-5ab7cc0d-Screenshot_2025-07-16_at_12.05.png) ## Reviewing Sessions Once you've applied your filters, you'll get a list of sessions that match your criteria. Click on any session to dive into a real user journey and: - **Inspect every track associated with a session (raw and parsed payloads and DataLayer):** Verify that all required events, parameters, and metadata were captured accurately throughout the session. - **Identify spec mismatches or missing events:** Detect sessions where key events are not firing. - **Investigate broken funnels:** Spot sessions that reached critical pages (like the *thank you* page) but are missing essential conversion events (purchase). - **Cross-platform debugging**: Compare how the same session was tracked across GA4, Meta, TikTok, and other platforms to identify inconsistencies. - **Explore real user behavior step by step:** No synthetic data or simulated flows — Trackingplan’s Session Finder shows exactly what a real user did and how your MarTech stack captured it. > Moreover, by clicking this button, you’ll be able to collapse the side search panel, maximizing horizontal space and reducing visual clutter. This allows you to focus more effectively on your analysis. ![](/images/spr-0790d5a6-toggle-sidebar-presence-map.png) [← Previous**Advanced Reports**](/docs/advanced-reports) [Next →** Privacy Report**](/docs/privacy-report) Was this useful?
