PDF click tracking setting

Hi,

I’ve been reading this thread regarding event tracking within Webflow:

Google Analytics event tracking for buttons in Webflow

Just want to start off by saying webflow as a tool is awesome. I created a website with a few buttons, each involving a slightly different pop-up lightbox window. I want to track the button clicks using Google analytics. I have enabled Google analytics for the site (well, the pages in the site). However, when I did some research, I found the link below to enable event tracking for button clicks. Unfortunately, I am not able to find a way to include “onclick” Google analytics event in ahre…

My client would like to track clicks on a PDF download to track download numbers.
Could someone please confirm or advise if this is the correct language to use??

_gaq.push([‘_trackEvent’, ‘PDF’, ‘Button’, ‘PDFname’]);

Thanks in advance

Hi Daniel,

I’m having the same issue - I would like to track who is downloading PDFs from a Webflow site - Did that code work for you?

Thanks!

@HCDC @danielcobb Simplest solution is using Tag Manager and GA and a click event. Here’s a how to for getting Tag Manager on Webflow. Adding GA to Tag Manager, creating a trigger and pushing an event to GA Once you have Tag Manager installed it’s super quick to add events.

GTM won’t tell you WHO but will show you stats and anonymized info. The only way to track WHO downloads an asset is to control assets behind a login. Not possible in Webflow without a third-party tool.

Hi, what third party tool would you guys recommend to track WHO downloaded an asset? (assumed the user is logged-in?)
