Then click on Save plugin settings

## Plugin parameters

After installing the plugin, in the new settings form we must enter the parameters for our Plausible project.

-   **Plausible Site:** The name of our site in plausible,  
    ex: mysite.com

Then for each model, we'll have the following fields:

-   **\[DATOCMS MODEL\] URL Pattern:** The pattern used to construct the Plausible URL for the specified model,  
    ex: ?page=%2f
    
-   **\[DATOCMS MODEL\] Slug Field:** The field of the specified model that will be used as slug,  
    ex: First Name
    

The combination of the 3 parameters will be later used by the plugin to create a link, ex:  
<[https://plausible.io/mysite.com?page=%2fjoakim](https://plausible.io/mysite.com?page=%2fjoakim)\>
