Intro
In order to get Google Analytics 4 (GA4) events from Zoom Engage we need to define Variables and Events in GTM (Google Tag Manager) and add the dataLayer command in your Zoom Engage account.
Getting Started
Log into your GTM account, make sure it is the account that is installed on the website you want to track events on. You can use Google Tag Assistant chrome extension to help you with that. After you are sure you are logged into the correct GTM, move on to the following steps.
Defining Variables
We need to define 3 Data Layer variables:
|
Variable Name |
Data Layer Variable Name |
|
GA ZA Event Category |
event_category |
|
GA ZA Event Action |
event_action |
|
GA ZA Event Label |
event_label |

Step 2: In (2) fill the Data Layer Variable Name from the Variable Names Table.
Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for all 3 variables: event_category, event_action, event_label.
