Event tracking
This document provides instructions on how to use Event Tracking in the Statistics feature.
Track visitor interactions on your website with the Event Tracking option. This lets you add event tracking to any clickable element on your web pages, for example, buttons, links, drop-down menus, and widgets. The interface displays the number of times that visitors click on a tracked element.
To track events on your website, the following requirements must be fulfilled:
The script has to be present on your website.
For more information, visit How to add the script.
Web Governanceonclick="window.monsido_functions.trackEvent('Category', 'Action', 'Event', 1);"To classify an event, assign a category, action, and name.
For example, you may have Contact Us buttons in various places on your website and would like to track how many people actually click them. For the Contact Us button on the Home page, you could classify it as follows:
The code to add to the "Contact Us" button from this example looks like this:
onclick="window.monsido_functions.trackEvent('Contact', 'Contact Us button', 'Click Contact Us button on Home page', 1);"If the same button is on a different page, for example, your Privacy Policy page, use the following classification for that element:
This is how the above configuration appears when the event data starts to come in:
Open the CMS (website builder software) and find the HTML code for the "Book a demo" button. In this example, the code looks like this:
<a href="https://example.com/demo">
<button class="header-btn" type="button">
Book a demo
</button> </a>Copy the code snippet and paste it inside the <button> element of your code. It should look like this:
<a href="https://example.com/demo">
<button class="header-btn" type="button"
onclick="window.monsido_functions.trackEvent
('Category', 'Action', 'Event', 1);">
Book a demo
</button> </a>Specify a Category, Action, and Event that you want this event to be tracked as. These will show up within the interface and help you understand the data.
In our example below, the Category is "Conversion", the Action to "Book a demo", and the Event to "Website header button clicked". The final code should look like this:
<a href="https://example.com/demo">
<button class="header-btn" type="button"
onclick="window.monsido_functions.trackEvent
('Conversion', 'Book a demo', 'Website header button clicked', 1);">
Book a demo
</button> </a>To view the Events data, log in and navigate to the Statistics module > Content > Events. There you can see all of the events data that is tracked on your website. Be aware that in some cases it can take up to 24 hours before tracked data is displayed in the application.
The number in the Events column indicates how many times the selected element has been clicked.
