How do I set up Call-to-Action Tracking to track an email click

Firstly, you need to setup the Call-to-Action within the Mediahawk platform.

Login in to the Mediahawk Platform https://www.reports.mediahawk.co.uk

Select Admin

Dynamic then Call-to-actions

Click the + (plus) sign on the right-hand side to add a call-to-action

You will then see the screen below.

In this example, we want to track if a visitor has clicked a emaiil link.

Name = Email Clicks (This can be any name you wish to use to identify the action)

Type = Count

Once added click  

You will then see the screen below confirming the call-to-action has been setup and has a unique Index ID

Stay logged into Mediahawk as you will need to copy the code after setting the Email clicks in Google Tag Manager

Setting up tracking email clicks in Google Tag Manager 

Login to your Google Tag Manager (GTM) If you do not currently use Google Tag Manager or need help with this part of the setup, please contact your website support or development Team. Within GTM you need to set a new Trigger

Select Triggers Select New

 When you see the screen below, hover your mouse over the Trigger Configuration screen until the Edit pencil Icon appears. Then Click the Pencil Icon which will open a Choose Trigger type

Select Just Links under the Click section

This will open a Trigger Configuration window. Select the Some Link Clicks radio button In the drop-down menus, select Click URL and then Contains. 

You then have two choices: 

• Enter the email address you want to track, starting with mailto: For example:mailto:[email protected]
• If you have multiple email addresses on your site and want to track all of them together, just put mailto:in the field. This will total up all instances an email link has been clicked.

Click Save.

You will be asked to Rename the Trigger. In this example, we have used Email Trigger but you can label it anything you like to identify it.

Click Save. 

This will create the trigger and will display in the list as below.

Now you need to create a Tag to pair with a Trigger. Select Tags

Select New When you see the screen below, hover your mouse over the Tag Configuration screen until the pencil icon appears. Click the Pencil Icon which opens a Choose Tag type window. Select Custom HTML(Custom HTML Tag) under the Custom section.

Now you need to copy the code from your Mediahawk account, so go back to your open Mediahawk browser window where you left it at the start of this process. Select the Call-to-Action that you want to track, and click on the CodeIcon. This will tell you that it has copied it your clipboard.

Go back to your GTM account window and paste the copied code into the HTML as per the example below.

Please note: If GTM does not automatically apply the Script tags around the pasted value you will need to add these manually so the full code looks like this:

<script>

[The code you have copied]

</script>

To select the Trigger you want to pair with the Tag, Hover your mouse over the Triggering screen until the pencil Icon appears. Click the Pencil Icon.

This will open a Choose a trigger window Select the Trigger you setup earlier to track (in our example we named it Email Trigger).

Once the trigger has been selected, it will show the setup below

Click Save You will be asked to Rename the Tag, in this example we have used Mediahawk - Track email link clicks(but you can use any name you wish)

Click SAVE. That's it; all done! You will start to see the Call-to-Actions logged in Mediahawk in both the customer journey and as a Secondary Dimension in reports.
