Overview
The Tracking Widget provides an easy way to set up event tracking and analytics for your campaign using Google Analytics or the Facebook Pixel.
To add a Tracking Widget to your campaign, click the Tracking Widget icon in the Add Widgets Panel, or drag the icon into your preview area.
Notes:
- Tracking Widgets are invisible in live campaigns, so you can place them wherever works best for campaign organization.
- The widget only tracks interactions on the live campaign, not within the Campaign Builder.
Widget Settings
The widget settings popup lets you customize your Tracking Widget.
Renaming the Widget
- Click the pencil icon in the top-left corner (next to the name) and type your new name. Confirm by clicking the blue check button.
CSS ID
- The CSS ID (starting with a
#) is displayed in the top-right corner of the popup.
Customization
Use the menu on the left to navigate settings. Use the Back and Next buttons at the bottom to move through sections.
When finished, click the blue Save and Exit button.
Note: To add Google Tag Manager (GTM) to your campaign, use a Code Widget, not the Tracking Widget.
