This article includes: What are the custom events and how to add them to your tracking plan?

Updated over 2 years ago

This article will teach us how to use J+ Track to add new custom events to our client's tracking plan.

What are the custom events?

The custom events are considered those that are usually not part of the box of J+ track tracking plans or Jellyfish products.

How to add a custom event?

After the creation of the tracking plan we will get into this screen.

By clicking on the blue button that says “+ create an event”, a new window will appear.

In this window we will be able to see the common tracking modules that we are selling to our clients and some others as well.

In the next window click on “+ Create a custom event” in the upper right corner.

Then this window will appear:

In the Indicator keys section you will name the key of the event and the name of the event.

Once you name the key under the Indicator keys section, the GA4 tag and the Custom event triggered will be filled automatically - but you can still edit it to a new value if necessary.

Note: moving forward it is possible that we might remove the "Name" field, as the "Key" field is the most essential for the Custom GTM names section.

Under Indicator details - you can add more information for this custom event.

After filling in all the information, click on “+ Add”

And below you will see how the new custom event would look like on your dataLayer for example:
