How Do I Track Link Clicks On My Website Using Google Tag Manager And Have Them Associated With One Tag?

Hi there. Welcome to Hopps help where we try to answer commonly asked questions in two minutes. My name is Frank, and the question we're answering today is how do I track link clicks on my website through Google tag manager and have them associated with one tag?
So a good example of this would be if a user had a click to call on their website, they might have a call now button and the header.
They might have a call feature in the center of their page, and they might have a call feature in the footer of the page.
Now, if that's the case and we want to fire the same exact tag in every situation, we just want to have one trigger.
We don't want to have multiple triggers for that. And so I'm going to walk you step-by-step on how to do that.
So first you're going to want to go to variables within your Google tag manager account, and you're going to want to configure some variables.
And the variable that we're going to configure here is going to be click URL. So as you can see, mine's already enabled within this account, but yours may not be.
So make sure that that box is checked. Um, and then you can just go ahead and then exit out of there.
If we see under built-in variables, click URL, then we know that we're in good shape. Now we want to head on over to our trigger section and our triggers tell our tags how to operate and how to fire.
So we'll select new. And then from here, we can just click in this box or click this pencil, and then we're going to get a significant amount of options over here on the right-hand side for the type that we want.
We're now just going to select just links. We'll select some links. And then all we need to do is define our URL so we can actually paste in the URL here.
Um, in the example that I gave about clicking the call, it would be for a phone number. So I'll just go ahead and put, tell because this would be the trigger.
If we were clicking on a phone number on a website, and that would be all I'll name, this my quick call figure.
And that would be how you can fire multiple tags or the same tag for multiple clicks through one trigger. I hope that helps.
