How can I continue tracking events in Webflow after Google introduced the new gtag.js and event tracking stopped working?

To continue tracking events in Webflow after Google introduced the new gtag.js and event tracking stopped working, you will need to make a few adjustments to your implementation. Here's what you can do:

1. Implement gtag.js in Webflow: First, make sure you have the gtag.js code snippet provided by Google. In Webflow, you can add it to your project by going to the Project Settings, click on the Custom Code tab, and paste the snippet into the Footer Code field. This will ensure that gtag.js is loaded on all your website pages.

2. Add event tracking code: With gtag.js, event tracking is slightly different compared to the previous ga.js implementation. To track events, you'll need to use the `gtag()` function. For example, if you want to track a button click event, you can add the following code:

```

```

Remember to replace `"your-button-id"` with the actual ID of your button, and modify the `event_category`, `event_label`, and `value` to suit your tracking needs.

3. Debug event tracking: Test your event tracking implementation to ensure it's working correctly. You can use the Google Analytics Debugger Chrome extension to see event tracking calls in the browser console. This will help you identify any errors or issues in your code.

4. Use Google Analytics Real-Time reports: Once your event tracking is live, you can use Google Analytics Real-Time reports to monitor the events as they occur. This will give you immediate feedback on whether the events are being tracked correctly.

By following these steps, you should be able to continue tracking events in Webflow using gtag.js, even after Google introduced the new implementation. Remember to test and validate your tracking to ensure accurate data collection for making informed business decisions.
