Tracking Pop Up Form Submission Events with GTM
-
Hello,
I'm currently tracking contact form submissions any time a user clicks 'Submit' on a pop-up form. Once the form is submitted, the URL of the page remains the same (there is no /thank-you page or such like), hence needing to fire the Event based on a click.
Problem is, even if the form is not actually submitted and a user just clicks the Submit button without filling in the fields, the Event will still fire.
I know there is a way to ensure the Event ONLY fires when the form is actually submitted for real, but I don't know how to implement that in GTM.
Any help most appreciated
Cheers,
Gill.

Wherever you can edit the thank you message, trigger an event - https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/events

Ah yes there is a "Thanks for your message" text - what kind of trigger do you use to fire that?
-
Its all about firing the event code at the right time and that depends on how your form works.
What happens after a successful form submission? Many times, you want to display a message along the lines of "Your Submission was Received", and that is when you want to fire off the GA code.

Is it possible to have a GA event and a GA virtual pageview fire off of the same click?
If we can only choose one, we'll likely go with the Event, but I'm hoping we'll be able to do both and gather more data about when certain pages (even if they are virtual) are viewed in the path to conversion.

Click to call tracking
I'm looking to add a click to call button, when a user lands on our quote page from a mobile phone. I'm wondering the best way of goal tracking? Our current method of tracking uses Events. I was wondering if this was a sensible way forward for this. The dev team are suggesting it may be a problem as it refreshes the page... I'm not a dev, so I don't fully understand it all! Thanks, Amelia

Tracking Clicks on a Global Header Across Multiple Sites
Hey All, A particular client has multiple websites and we're planning on implementing a global header across 15+ sites. I've been looking for a way to track the clicks on this global header across all sites (that is that they are summed up), what's the best way to go about this if I am using Google Analytics (I know Adobe site catalyst could do this no problem with some advanced tweaking), any ideas? I could do the general click tracking route and tag every link but that will only help me if I do that for each site (that being said, if the global header for all sites pulls from a single HTML, then tagging it would technically count all the clicks from all the sites, the only caveat being that I'd have to pick which Google analytics profile I'd want to track the header with). Thoughts? Thanks!
