Setup

Set up the tracking feature inside the HTML page header tags. See the script below for an example.

<script> 
     window.addEventListener('mon-pageassist-open', function() {          
          console.log('open pa');               

window.monsido_functions.trackEvent(eventCategory, eventAction, eventName, eventValue?); }); 
</script>

Set up the tracking feature inside the HTML page header tags. See the script below for an example of how this looks in Google Analytics.

Example script for Google Analytics:

Head tag (Global HTML)

<script> 
     window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || []; 
     function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);} 
     gtag('js', new Date()); 

     gtag('config', 'G-XXXXXXXXX'); 
</script> 

<script> 
     window.addEventListener('mon-pageassist-open', function() {            
          console.log('open pa'); 
          gtag('event', 'PageAssist', { 
               'event_category': 'open' 
          }); 
     }); 
</script>

This script listens for the event "mo-pageassist-open", which registers the count for each time a visitor opens the PageAssist add-on.

The action is logged in GoogleAnalytics as an event. In the example above, it has the name "PageAssist".

Data begins to arrive at Google Analytics when the script is added, and within 30 minutes the accumulated data should provide some insight on how the site is being used by visitors.

With this setup, Monsido users can:
