GTM + Gravity Forms Goal tracking in Google Analytics - google-analytics

I have a Gravity Form with a text confirmation page, not a redirect confirmation. I would like to track this form through Google Tag Manager to display a goal conversion in Google Analytics (Universal Analytics).
I've followed the steps here: http://www.notesonclick.com/blog/gravity-form-event-tracking-via-tag-manager/
No conversions are being recorded. However when using GTM-debug mode, all the triggers are firing, even the gform.submit.success tag is being fired after clicking the submit button.
Could someone please help?

We've had the same issue. The only way we've been able to get GTM to record conversions is to remove validation. We'd rather it validate, but we haven't found any other workarounds.

I have implement that code in multiple site and it is working fine, Since you are not getting conversion then there might be issue with form Goal Creation in google analytics. or some time i have noticed this things happening when google analytics have been implement directly on the site and event tracking setup through tag manager..
if you still need some more help leave comment in comment box of same blog

I saw the excellent and elegant solution by Dinesh but was not able to implement it on the site I was working with. I put a hack together that work correctly. For detailed instructions, please see here.

Google Ads Tag via GTM shows still running

lately we're seeing a lot of "still running" Status code in tags that have fired correctly.
The setup is allways the same. We're creating tags via GTM.
The tags fire correctly.
Conversion ID and Label are already doublechecked. ;-)
We can see the error an the following tag types:
Google Ads Remarketing Tags
Google Ads Conversion Tags
Do you have any quick advise?

If you have checked consent mode and everything is fine, please check if your Google Ads ID is a numeric value, if it is add "AW-" in front of it and try again. I've had this problem for a client of mine and have been searching for a while on it... This solved the problem , but still pretty odd no information on this change could be found online.

Google Analytics Ecommerce Suddenly Stopped Tracking and I don't know why

I'm asking if anyone is having the same problem as I currently am and if they can help. Currently, for the past 5 days or so, The Google Analytics E-commerce section has not been recoding any payments or revenue when in the back end we know it is happening.
This started when the client added Facebook pixel to the website but was reassured that their IT team did not touch any of the tracking codes for the rest of the website.
Below is the graph of when E-commerce stopped tracking.
I have double-checked the entire flow and double-check the tracking codes to the entire website. But this still hasn't shown what the problem could be.
Any help would be appreciated and has this ever happened to any of you guys as well? This has only happened once about 2 years ago (same client) when E-Commcerce tracking just stopped without a reason and came back about a month after.
Is the tracking hardcoded on the site or are you using Tag Manager?
My guess is the pixel broke some code, I don't know if the GA hardcoded or the dataLayer.
Do a test transaction, on the confirmation page do the following: Right Click on the site > Inspect > Console
Check if you get error, could you paste them here?
Also if you're using GTM, can you type 'dataLayer' on the confirmation page. It should return something.
This is just to understand the problem. I need more info to give you a solution.

How can I track button clicks on a site that can't use Google Analytics?

I will start by saying that I have fair experience in HTML, but please keep the technical terms to a bare minimum. Pretend you're explaining it to a child. :-)
I used Wix.com to make my site (Wix is a place to easily design websites and has little HTML capabilities, since it's all based on being able to easily design a site with no HTML knowledge). You can add a Google Analytics tracking code, so i can see the number of clicks on the site, but that's about all. Apparently you can't change the code to be able to see button clicks on the site etc. (or maybe you can?...)
This is what I need above anything else:
On the site are a few "sign up now" buttons. When someone clicks it, they go to a signup page on an external site. I need to be able to track who clicks these buttons and when.
Ideally it's all tracked within google but apparently it doesn't work on wix.
Priorities:
Somehow it works with Google Analytics on Wix. It would have to be if somehow I can track it with Analytics without putting a code on the site itself. Don't know if or how that would work.
If not Google, is there a simple 3rd party Analytics site that could track the number of clicks on these buttons to external pages? It would be best if I can get the IP addresses of the clickers as well.
this is fairly easy, try customerlabs.co/google-analytics-event-tracking which can directly help you to send data about the users when they click event tracking.
eg:
Wix supports 3 types of goal tracking for your site: Destination, Duration and Pages/Screens per session. Currently, Wix doesn't support an Event tracking goal.

Time to Click (seconds) in Google Analytics

I want to display with a widget in Google Analytics after which amount of seconds users are clicking a link.
How many users and click on external links is already tracked with the google tag manager.
I know it is possible, but I don't know how. I saw it in a video (https://gyazo.com/ea04edaf30af80611e5eabeff4f0b89a) but can't finde a solution.
Maybe someone has an idea how to do it?
Thank you very much!
You can create in Google Tag Manager a javascript custom variable to measure time and use that value when sending the clic on external link or event you already have.
Take a look to this article with the javascript example

How to setup Google Analytic goals that go to different URLs?

I would like to setup my form's conversion rate as a goal in my Google Analytics account. The goal is complete when someone enters their information and hits submit. Logically, the "Thank you page" would be the destination URL for the goal. My problem is that the thank you page is outside of the primary domain, for example, my site is:
SiteExampl.com but the Thank you URL is thankyouurl.com
Is it possible to setup a goal like this? If so how.
Christina, this is a bit tricky situation as it involves cross-domain tracking and the visitor/goal tracking won't be consistent since each site is using its own sets of cookies. To keep this not that complicated and technical (for that purpose, there is a lengthy documentation by Google), I am going to assume that the conversion will be counted as simply the fact that the user pressed button.
You could then setup event tracking and create a new goal with a condition of this event being fired (Type = Event, in Goal details then use the same Category/Action/Label as you would you in the tracking code -- see below).
The example of event tracking code: (see the complete specification for details)
Submit
Hope this helps :)
this is possible . Please execute an Event when submitting the form. Then redirect to the thank you page.
Use form submission position or button click position and then execute the Event Tracking method and pass the related info at that time. Google Analytics give you an opportunity to setup events as Goals. Hence this will be a very easy task.
