Add a Trigger

In this example, we’re recording a GA “event” when the Submit button on a specific LearningBuilder registration form is clicked.

The configuration looks like this:

Note

The specific trigger configuration will depend heavily on what you’re trying to do and how your LearningBuilder instance is configured.

Generally speaking, in a production setup it’s better to do a page-based trigger (based on URL) than a “Click” trigger because it’s less likely to be affected by future changes to a page’s HTML coding.

3

Publish your changes

Make sure you publish your changes in Tag Manager when finished, or else they won’t actually take effect.

...

1

Create a new Campaign

You can create other types of campaigns as well, this document uses Email because it’s simple. As long as your campaign type can contain a link into LearningBuilder, the rest of the setup is the same.

2

Add a Link to your email

Somewhere in your content, configure a link to LearningBuilder. Use the tracking URL you generated in step 1.

3

Send the email

Send or schedule the email. (Actually populating your mailing list is outside the scope of this document)

You can populate Constant Contact lists from data in LearningBuilder. See Populate a Constant Contact mailing list with Zapier and Polled Data Files

...

1

Follow the link to LearningBuilder

Using either a “live” email, or a Constant Contact preview, follow the link to LearningBuilder. This link will contain the tracking parameters for Google Analytics.

2

Register for an account

Since this example is tracking registrations, register for a new account in LearningBuilder. The Google Tag Manager setup will be listening for a click on the “Submit” button

3

Check the Google Analytics reports

It may take 24 hours for the data to become available, but you should be able to run an Events report in GA, and your registration should be tied to the Campaign you identified in the tracking URL.
