How Do I Track User Clicks On Tag Manager?

Hi there and welcome to Hopps help where we try to answer commonly asked questions in two minutes. Today's topic is how to track when users click a link on my website using Google Tag Manager?
So we have a demo website open over here, and we have our Google Tag Manager account open over here. We aren't going to be focusing on the tag because users could want to track a Facebook link click, or they could want to track it in Google analytics or within their Google ads account.
We're just going to focus on how to set up the trigger in order to actually track. And so in order to do this, we actually need to go to variables and we need to enable some of our built-in variables.
So we'll click on configure and then we'll scroll down till we get to clicks. And we'll just go ahead and enable all of these because there's a variety of different ways to track unique clicks, but this will help us kind of figure out which ones it is that we want to use.
So from here, I'm going to go with the simplest one for this particular demo, and that would be called now.
So I can see that click text here is an auto event variable, and then call now is the text that I want to track.
So what I'm going to go ahead and do is I'm going to create a trigger that trigger is going to be for just links.
And then it's going to be for some link clicks. If the click text equals call now in all caps because that's how we have it set up.
And then from there, you're going to want to name your trigger appropriately. So I'm going to put no call now link clicks as our title for that.
I'm going to go ahead and click save. And then from here now you've created your trigger. You can go ahead and apply that to any tag that you want to create.
If anyone were to click on this button, this will work for internal links within your website and external links as well.
I hope that helped. And if you need any one-on-one help with Google tag manager, just hop on https://app.hopps.io/session/create to work with a live expert today.
