: Google Tag Manager fire event when element id/class is on screen I have Google Tag Manager installed and working on my website. There is one particular thing that I need to track but I can't

@Goswami781

There are three steps to the way I would do this.


Add code to the error reporting block that pushes an event to the Data Layer.
Create a Google Tag Manager Custom Trigger that fires when this custom event takes place.
Create and Event Tag, and attach the trigger.


The code you need to add will push an event to the data layer. This is just custom array of pairs, where the first is called 'event'. The other values (if any) are for you to define as you choose. Here is an example, with two custom variables:

dataLayer.push({'event': 'event_name','error_code': '7842F','var1': '82hf'})


This is a bare-bones example where we aren't trying to include extra information:

dataLayer.push({'event': 'error_event'})


If you test this is the Google Tag Manager preview mode, you will see this event take place. The custom trigger then needs to be set up to take place when the event named above is recorded.
