Matomo Tracking Plugin for Roundcube
, (*1)
This plugin integrates Matomo analytics using the
Matomo Tracking API into Roundcube.
This plugin is very different from the
Roundcube Webmail piwik analytics plugin
which adds the client-side
JavaScript Tracking Tag.
The aim of this plugin is to add Matomo integration on the server-side in order
to get around same-origin policy., (*2)
If your Matomo installation is on the same domain as your Roundcube
installation and both are using the same protocol, then this plugin is
probably not what you need as it will not add any significant value over the
JavaScript Tracking Tag. Some example cases where this plugin shines:, (*3)
- Matomo at
http://analytics.company.com
, Roundcube at
https://webmail.company.com
- Matomo at
http://analytics.company.com
, Roundcube at
http://webmail.othercompany.com

Configuration
Copy config.inc.php.dist

To set multiple hosts, use the key/value pair of server name and Matomo website
ID. For example:, (*11)
$rcmail_config['matomo_tracking_api_site_id'] = array(
'webmail.foo.com' => 42,
'webmail.bar.com' => 13
);
matomo_tracking_api_track_user_id [boolean], (*12)
