Case: login Event

Suppose I want to track the login in Recommended Events now, what should I do?

You can look at the parameters of this event first. It has a parameter method, which indicates the method used to log in. It can be Facebook, Google, Email, Phone, etc., and replace it according to the actual login method of the user.

 

Add dataLayer.push code

When the user logs in, the data is sent through dataLayer.push, the sample code is as follows:

gtag("event", "login", {
  method: "Google"
});

 

Trigger

In GTM, click 「Trigger」——「New」——「Choose a trigger type to begin setup…」——「Custom Event」 name it “Custom Event-Login”, and then set as follows:
