How it works

The click event tracks visitors for a full click-and-release, mousedown, or mouseup event on a specified element. When a visitor performs the action, the tracking call is triggered.

For more information about how to add an event listener, see Manage events.

Event triggers

Event triggers are the specific actions the event listener tracks.

The click event can track the following event triggers:

• Click – Trigger when the user clicks and releases the element.
• Mousedown – Trigger when the user clicks the element.
• Mouseup – Trigger when the user releases the mouse from the element.

Element selector

The element selector specifies which element on a page you want to trigger the event listener. For more information, see Event element selector.

Trigger frequency

The trigger frequency determines how many times the event trigger will result in a tracking call. For more information, see Event triggers.

Event trigger variables

Event trigger variables are the values the event listener sends with the tracking call. The click event has the following default event trigger variables:

Click

Example

{
   "tealium_event"  : "click",
   "iq_event_id:"   : "click_events_1"
