How to trace # link through GTM
Sometimes, we will use # for linking to another section on the same page.
But if we want to trace the click event by GTM. That will be a problem.
Here’s the HTML for the link
<a href="#10">
no.10 player
</a>
And we set up the Just Click
trigger with Page Path
equals /#10
on GTM.
But the trigger won’t fire. We can open Tag Manager Preview to find out what happened.
The problem is why the Page Path
is /
and where’s the #10
?
Ok, after searching the message on google.
We’ll know that the string in the URL after the hash mark is called Fragment
.
So we go to the variable section, and add a User-Defined Variables names URL Fragment
.
And now your trigger can set fires on URL Fragment
equals 10.
Then everything works fine. Well done, Agent P.
