Yes, it is possible to track individual user statistics, such as total watch time, on a member's CMS page with video content in Webflow. Webflow has a built-in integration with Google Analytics, which allows you to track user behavior and gather detailed insights about how users interact with your website. To set this up, follow these steps:

  1. Sign up for a Google Analytics account (if you don't have one already).
  2. In your Webflow project, navigate to the Project Settings.
  3. Under the Integrations tab, find the Google Analytics section.
  4. Add your Google Analytics tracking ID to the field provided.
  5. Publish your website to apply the changes.

Once you have set up Google Analytics, you can create custom events or goals to track specific user actions, such as video watch time on a member's CMS page. Here's an example of how you can set this up:

  1. Log in to your Google Analytics account.
  2. Click on Admin in the left-hand sidebar.
  3. In the View column, click on Goals.
  4. Click on the "+ New Goal" button.
  5. Choose the "Custom" option and click "Continue".
  6. Enter a name for your goal (e.g., "Video Watch Time").
  7. Select the "Event" type and click "Continue".
  8. In the Goal Details section, enter the category, action, and label that correspond to your video (e.g., Category: "Video", Action: "Watch", Label: "Member's CMS Page").
  9. Click "Save" to create your goal.

Once the goal is set up, you will be able to view the total watch time for each user on the member's CMS page in Google Analytics reports. Keep in mind that it may take some time for the data to populate in your analytics account.

By tracking individual user statistics, you can gain valuable insights into user behavior and optimize your website and video content accordingly.
