Currently it is only possible to specify 1 of the following 3 criteria, when adding a goal triggered on "Send an event":

  • Category
  • Action
  • Name

There needs to be a way to set all 3 simultaneously, not only one.

That would be a good new feature to have. In the meanwhile you can

  1. trigger a goal manually http://developer.piwik.org/guides/tracking-javascript-guide#manually-trigger-goal-conversions
  2. develop a custom plugin using PHP (it is already possible to do this in a plugin but would be a bit fragile and hard since the methods to do this are not a public API)

Goal IDs are not ideal for this. They cannot be set manually in Piwik so they are very inconvenient to work with. The best way I found to overcome this is to rely on the event 'name'. Specify a unique name for every event and then trigger goals by matching event names. The only downside with this is that you can't link the event revenue to the goal revenue.

This could be a great feature in 2022, what do you think?
