Plausible Integration
Import Historical Plausible Data Into Faurya
Bring your existing analytics history into Faurya with a guided ZIP import flow, verify import outcomes, and preserve long-term trend continuity.
Prerequisites
Prepare these before uploading your Plausible export.
- Active Faurya account with site settings access
- A selected site in your Faurya dashboard
- Plausible export ZIP generated from Plausible site settings
- Permission to upload files and manage imported data
- A date range you want to preserve for historical analysis
- Matching site/domain context between Plausible export and Faurya site
Setup
Follow this import flow to bring historical Plausible data into your selected site.
Step 1
Generate and download the official export ZIP from Plausible site settings. Use the dedicated export workflow rather than chart-level download.
Step 2
Go to your selected site and open the import area where Plausible upload is available.
Step 3
Click Choose File and select your Plausible ZIP. The selected filename is shown before import starts.
Step 4
Click Import to process the file. Import progress and loading state are shown while ingestion is running.
Step 5
After a successful run, Faurya shows created events, created visitors, and imported date range.
Step 6
Imported totals remain visible in status. If needed, owners can delete imported data after explicit confirmation.
Import Workflow
User-facing behavior in the Plausible import interface.
| Workflow item | Current behavior |
|---|---|
| File type requirement | Upload accepts ZIP files only. |
| Pre-import state | Import button is disabled until a file is selected and no import is currently running. |
| In-progress state | The interface shows importing/loading state to prevent duplicate submissions. |
| Success response | Displays imported visitors count, imported events count, and the imported date range. |
| Error response | Displays a failure message and detailed error reasons when available. |
| Existing imported data | Status shows total imported events and stored date range even after initial upload. |
| Deletion control | Delete Imported Data is protected by confirmation because the action is irreversible. |

Troubleshooting
Quick checks for common upload and import issues.
+Import button stays disabled
Confirm a ZIP file is selected and no import is currently running. The button remains disabled without a selected file.
+Import fails after upload
Use the official Plausible export ZIP from site settings and retry. Review detailed error messages for malformed or unsupported input.
+Imported totals look lower than expected
Verify the exported date range in Plausible and compare with the success summary date window shown after import.
+Need to start over with a clean import
Use Delete Imported Data in settings, confirm the irreversible action, then re-import a corrected ZIP file.
+Historical trends are not visible
Check the current analysis date range and timezone context to ensure it includes the imported period.
