Hey everyone! I’m looking for a way to track how many people are accessing my dash app and and added bonus would be to have their country as well. Any thoughts on how I could implement this? Google analytics would be a great tool but I am unsure on how to implement it.\ Thanks for the help, Morgan ---

This worked for me ```auto app = dash.Dash(...) app.index_string = """ {%metas%} {%title%} {%favicon%} {%css%} {%app_entry%} """ ``` You will need your own UA number instead of 999999-1. This particular setup includes anonymization of IP addresses. ---

This didn’t work for me. I get an syntax error when I write `html` code in `app.py` ```auto app = dash.Dash(....) ``` ```auto ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax ``` ---

Do you assign it to `app.index_string`? > [@sislvacl](#): > > ```auto > app.index_string = """ > > ... > > """ > > ``` ---

Aha, I didn’t. Just saw the docs: [Adding CSS & JS and Overriding the Page-Load Template | Dash for Python Documentation | Plotly](https://dash.plotly.com/external-resources)
