Hi! I’m trying to track signup clicks in google analytics to measure how well the ad network is going. I know I can track it in Mautic, but that doesn’t easily show their search query, nor ties into how well my ad spend is going. I was previously using mailchimp, and I modified their form to include an ‘onSubmit’ that called googles ga(“send”…) function. I’ve tried the same thing with the mautic form code, and ended up somewhat breaking the form. ![:(]( ":(") I then tried playing around with moving this code elsewhere in the form with no success. I know I can trigger google tracking if I redirect the form to a new page (standard include of the google tracking url), but how do I track it when the user stays on the page and gets a message? Before I go hacking away at the core code and break it terribly, I’m wondering if someone else has an easy ish solution? Thanks! ---

Finally solved it… By using onClick instead of onSubmit. So in the html of the form, you’ll see something like: Yes, Click Here! Add in the onclick code calling the ga event: Yes, Click Here! Anyone know if there’s a way (or a plan) to have that in the mautic interface, rather than editing the html? ---

This worked great - thanks
