You can send the event data related to the interaction of users with your Claspo widgets to your Google Analytics (GA) account.
Claspo supports the Universal Analytics and Google Analytics 4 scripts for tracking events on your website.
Note: It is recommended to install the Google Analytics 4 script, since the Google Universal Analytics property will stop processing data starting on July 1, 2023 (July 1, 2024, for Analytics 360 properties).
You have to install the script, using one of the following methods:
Setting up GA4 script for a website (directly into the website code).
After that, you have to enable exporting the widget event data to Google Analytics.
The entry point for events depends on the method you use to install the script:
If there is GoogleAnalytics3 (ga), send into it.
If there is dataLayer and there is gtag and dataLayer has at least one G-* tag:
a. Then call gtag with parameters (send_to is added) for each tag id.
b. Otherwise, we write to dataLayer.
