To track events in your Google Analytics account using Webflow, you'll need to set up event tracking using Google Tag Manager (GTM) and integrate it with your Webflow site. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
1. Set up Google Tag Manager:
- Sign in to your Google Tag Manager account or create a new one.
- Create a new container and provide the necessary details.
- Copy the GTM container code that starts with ``.
- In your Webflow project, go to Project Settings > Custom Code.
- Paste the GTM container code into the Footer Code section.
2. Create a new GTM Tag:
- In your GTM account, go to your container and navigate to the Tags section.
- Click on "New" to create a new tag.
- Give your tag a descriptive name.
- Select the tag type as "Google Analytics: Universal Analytics".
- Configure the tag by entering your Google Analytics tracking ID (UA-XXXXX-X).
- Under "Track Type", select "Event".
- Fill in the required fields like Category, Action, and Label for your event.
3. Set up the trigger:
- Click on "Triggering" to configure when the event should fire.
- You can choose from various triggers such as clicks, form submissions, or page views.
- Select the appropriate trigger based on your event, and configure it accordingly.
4. Preview and publish:
- Use the GTM preview mode to test your setup.
- Click on "Submit" to publish the changes and make the tag live.
5. Verify event tracking in Google Analytics:
- Open your Google Analytics account and go to "Realtime" > "Events".
- Trigger the event on your Webflow site and check if it appears in the Realtime report.
That's it! You have successfully set up event tracking in your Google Analytics account using Webflow and GTM. You can now track and analyze user interactions, conversions, and other events on your website. Remember to allow for some time for the data to propagate and appear in your Google Analytics reports.
