Use URL for Google Analytics?

  • Hi,

    I’m looking to use GA to create and track my conversion funnel, one part of which is my popup in elementor. GA needs specific URLs for each step to be able to track and create this.

    Is there a way the format of the trigger URL this plugin generates could be tweaked to create a standard URL that you could paste in to a web browser to open up the popup?

    Thanks

    Hi @camberandcombustion

    You could try this:

    Combine the trigger URL (#elementor-action…) and the page URL, so it would look like this:

    https://yourwebsite.com/current-page/#elementor-action…

    You can paste this combined URL to the address bar. Once the page is loaded, it would display the popup automatically.

    By the way, why not using Elementor’s Trigger options? You could open popup right after the page is loaded. This way, you can use a cleaner URL without the “#elementor-action…” part.

    Hi @daviedr

    Thanks for the quick reply. I added the trigger to the end of the page URL and that does indeed automatically open the popup when pasted in to a web browser, so thanks for that.

    Regarding your last point, on my website for the popup to open there is a button that needs to be pressed, rather than the popup opening automatically right away. It is only for the google analytics purposes (for tracking how many users we convert from reading a landing page to actually opening the popup) that I need the specific popup URL.

    Not knowing your experience with GA, do you think this URL you have just helped me create will be one which GA will actually see traffic through when people are opening the popup for real?

    Many thanks

    I think GA will detect the URL with hash as the same URL as the original one. But maybe there is a configuration for this. You need to search on Google Analytics documentation.

    By the way, you might want to try another method to track a button click that opens the popup. You can use GTM (Google Tag Manager) to track a button click and then record them in GA.
