IP Lookup Function

SHANE EBERT asked on July 18, 2017 22:45

From what I am aware, software like Marketo and Hubspot can tell you who has been on your site without someone filling out a form. Does Kentico have this ability?

Thanks

Contacts in the Online marketing module will log IP address of visitors if that setting is enabled.

You can do it pretty much yourself without marketing. You have API for that:

GeoLocation currentGeoLocation = GeoIPHelper.GetCurrentGeoLocation();
if (currentGeoLocation != null)
{
    var countryAndState = ValidationHelper.GetString(currentGeoLocation.CountryName, "");
    var ipCountryCode = ValidationHelper.GetString(currentGeoLocation.CountryCode, "");
    var ipRegion = ValidationHelper.GetString(currentGeoLocation.RegionName, "");
    var ipCity = ValidationHelper.GetString(currentGeoLocation.City, "");
}

Or using K# macros:

{% AnalyticsContext.CurrentGeoLocation.Country.CountryName|(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}

The database comes from MaxMind. You can learn more about managing it here
