Event trigger variables

Event trigger variables are the values sent in the tracking call. You can edit existing trigger variables or add custom variables to collect exta data with the event.

1. From the event’s Configuration page, select the variable from the list, or click + New Variable to create a new variable.
   1. Select the Type of variable to set.
   2. Enter the Source for this variable. Use the variable name that your site’s source code uses.
   3. (Optional) Enter an Alias to identify the variable.
   4. (Optional) Enter any Notes for this variable.
   5. Click Apply to set the new variable.
2. Select an option from the list.
   • Text – Set a value for the variable in the text box.
   • Variable – Select another variable to set this variable to.
   • JavaScript – Enter the JS code to evaluate for this variable’s value.
   • Data Layer Value – Send the variable as-is from the utag data to the data layer.

If the event scope is set to Pre Loader, you can’t select Data Layer Value or Variable because utag.data doesn’t exist in that scope.
