With Google Tag Manager, there are a million different ways to make your tagging setup leaner and more flexible.

I'll use an easy way to reduce redundancy here. It's the generic event tag ? you guessed it!

— What are you waiting? ? hands in action.

First we'll create triggers

  1. Click Triggers
  2. New
  3. Name of the Trigger
  4. Select Custom Event
  5. Name of the Event

— If you do not understand. look at the image

Third Insert code

👉 You can improve the code. I'll leave that to your imagination.

➡️ Copy the below script to Settings -> Code Injection -> Blog Footer

<script>
  /* Tracking With Google Tag Manager */
  var godoTracking = document.querySelectorAll(".godo-tracking");
  godoTracking.forEach(function (item) {
    item.addEventListener("click", function () {
      var godoCategory = this.getAttribute("data-event-category");
      var godoAction = this.getAttribute("data-event-action");
      var godoLabel = this.getAttribute("data-event-label");
      var godoValue = this.getAttribute("data-event-non-interaction");

      dataLayer.push({
        event: "godoGhostEvent",
        eventCategory: godoCategory,
        eventAction: godoAction,
        eventLabel: godoLabel,
        eventValue: godoValue,
      });
    });
  });
</script>
