Button Tracking (Onclick)

Hi,

I’m trying to set up event tracking in Analytics for button clicks.

In the OnClick field I’ve entered the following; ga(“send”, “event”, “Button”, “Click”, “vmscompare”, “1”);

No matter what I try I can’t get the event to record in Analytics (Realtime or otherwise)

The page URL is https://eleymet.com/digital-height-gauge/

The Button Name is ‘How does the VMS Compare’

Analytics is working and other tracking is working perfectly.

Can you advise what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks

    Hi Carlos

    Thanks for reaching out.

    Perhaps try:

    ga('send', 'event', 'Button', 'Click', 'vmscompare', '1');

    Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for replying.

    I’m afraid your suggestion hasn’t worked either.

    Is there anything else I could try?

    You can perhaps try setting up a test button on a page not using Page Builder to see if that’s working.

    <button onclick="ga('send', 'event', 'Button', 'Click', 'vmscompare', '1');">Button</button>

    Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for coming back again. I’ve managed to find a workaround using a plugin.

    Thanks for your help
