How to Connect Yandex Metrica to Boomstream: Step-by-Step Guide
1. Enable White Label in Boomstream
To connect a Yandex Metrica counter, you must first enable the White Label option in your Boomstream account.
Note: If you are on a bundle plan, the White Label feature is already included in your plan price.
2. Set Up the Counter in the Boomstream Dashboard
- Navigate to Project settings (the gear icon next to your project name).
- Go to White Label → Analytics counters.
- Locate the field for Yandex Metrica.
- Enter the Yandex Metrica counter ID (created in Step 3) into this field.
3. Create a Counter in Yandex Metrica
- Go to the Yandex Metrica website and sign in to your account.
- Click the "Add counter" button.
4. Configure Counter Details
Fill in the counter creation form with the following recommended settings for Boomstream:
| Field | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Counter name | Use a descriptive name to easily identify the video player data. |
| Site address | Enter the player address (play.boomstream.com) or your custom parked video subdomain. |
| Additional sites | Add if applicable. |
| Notification email | Optional. |
| Time zone | Select your local time zone. |
| Accept data from selected sites only | Enable for better data accuracy (recommended). |

Click "Create counter" when finished.
5. Retrieve Your Yandex Metrica Counter Number
After creation, a page with the HTML embedding code will appear.
- You only need the Counter Number (ID) to enter into your Boomstream project settings.
Important: Do not embed the full HTML code anywhere; Boomstream handles the script injection automatically.
Next, click "Go to goal setup" to configure video tracking events.
