Currently users can define Goals as matching a given URL, or a given page title, or a given download or a given click on an outlink.

The goal of this ticket is to add ability to create goals matching a given Event name, category or action.

Proposed steps:

  • Add new radio item "Send an Event" below "Visit a given page title"
  • When this radio "Send an event" is selected in the Goal form, then in the row below we write: "where the Event [Category / Action / Name] [contains / is exactly / matches the expression].
  • add unit and integration tests
  • Update Goal tracking user guide to show this new functionality.

Result: anyone could create a Goal as matching any Event category or Event action or Event name! this will be a powerful tool.

@mattab it looks good for me but I haven't done this before so I might have forgotten to something it somewhere. Can you have a look? I wrote unit and integration tests and also did a manual testing but maybe I miss something. Can you also update the user guide?

Our forementioned guide for this functionality is not updated - just found this out when trying to get familiar with tracking goal by event :) I think it would be vital to add some brief description for this new option, maybe also some tooltip triggered by hovering which would explain the concept of tracking goal by event to the user with some simple example. Please inform if I could be of any assistance in process of it's creation, as I don't have the knowledge to do the guide myself yet.

Hi @mgonera

actually thanks for pointing it out, we found there was a bug in the product which maybe you experienced. (fixed in 6e6c429 ) - Now the Goal Manage screen when you click on "Sending an event" should look like this:

goal event

which includes a little help for events, but still far from perfect.

it would be great if you wanted to update the user guides, when you see something out of date and want to correct it... i'd be happy to give you access to the website to edit content. let me know if you're interested!

Btw, If you have other feature suggestion, please create a new issue on github (this issue is closed and we would miss your comments on closed issues)
