The following events are tracked in the data layer:

Timeout This indicates the number of times the chat was timed out due to inactivity.

To track Webchat events in Google Tag Manager, sign in to Google Tag Manager as an administrator. Select the container name that is currently installed on your website.

Go to the ‘Triggers’ tab.

Click on the ‘New’ button.

Name the trigger, ‘webchatCTATracking’, and click on ‘Trigger Configuration’.

Select the ‘Custom Event’ option.

Name the event ‘webchatCTATracking’. Then select ‘All Custom Events’ to choose when to trigger the event and click on the ‘Save’ button.

Go to the ‘Variables’ tab on the left.

In the ‘User-defined Variables’ section, click ‘New’ and name the variable as ‘sectionName’.

Now, go to ‘Variable Configuration’ and select the ‘Data Layer Variable’ option.

Name the data layer variable ‘sectionName’ and click the ‘Save’ button.

Similarly, create 2 more variables with the following details:

Go to the ‘Tags’ tab on the left and click the ‘New’ button.

Name the tag Webchat - Tag‘ (this name can be anything as per your preference).

Click ‘Tag Configuration’ and select a tag type (for example, Google Analytics: Universal Analytics or Google Ads Conversion Tracking). We are using Google Analytics as an example.

Select ‘Event’ as the ‘Tag Type’.

Publish these changes within Google tag manager.

Now you’ll be able to track the Webchat events. The tag configuration may vary based on which platform you are integrating it with and may require more information. Get in touch with your marketing manager or agency to set that up.
