Getting started

UXSense turns your session recordings into two things: Release Impact Reports (what each deploy actually did to user behavior) and Drift checks (PR-time warnings before a change breaks what users depend on). Here's the path from signup to value.

1. Create your project

Sign up, name your project, pick its type, and set two or three goals — the flows that matter (checkout completed, report generated, signup finished). Goals drive everything downstream: reports measure them, Drift protects the paths that complete them. You can refine goals later in Settings.

2. Connect a session source

You need one source of session recordings. Pick whichever is fastest for you:

• UXSense recorder — one script tag, recording in minutes. See Installing the recorder snippet.
• PostHog — reuse the replays PostHog already collects; no new code on your site. See Connecting PostHog. Connecting PostHog also unlocks the backtest: an instant report on your last release, built from history — no waiting.
• Sentry — reuse Sentry session replays.

3. Install the GitHub App

The app does two jobs: it detects your releases automatically (so reports appear without manual entry) and posts Drift verdicts on your pull requests. See Installing the GitHub App.

4. Wait for your first report — briefly

Your first report ships at 30 sessions. It's an observational UX audit — it makes no statistical claims at that size, and it says so; the reliability label upgrades as sessions accumulate (refreshed automatically at 75, 150, and 300 sessions).

If you connected PostHog, you don't have to wait at all: run the backtest from the Drift page and get "what Drift would have said about your last release" from the recordings you already have.

What you'll see

• Home — setup progress, then your live pulse.
• Releases — every deploy and its impact report.
• Drift — the ledger of PR checks, plus the behavioral load map that powers them.
• Connections — sources, GitHub, and deploy webhooks.
