I have website in which when a user land on the website(say xyz.com) . Website open with a pop up(no tracking is enable on the popup) and user cannot perform any action unless it closes the pop up and also the page is not reloaded after closing the pop up
below are my queries.
1) No tracking enable on pop up close
If user doesn't visit any more pages in the website post closing the pop up. But perform different action on same page (such as check box selection ,drop down selection) on which event are define. do still this page will be calculated as bounce page and visit will be calculated as bounce visit?
2) Tracking enable on pop up close .

Post closing pop up user doesn't perform any activity.

A bounce is a visit with only one interaction.
If both your site and the popup have tracking code that's two interactions and the visitor will not be counted as a bounce.
In the case of events it depends. You can set a flag in your event tracking code that determines if the event affects the bounce rate. By default an event will count as interaction, and a user with a pageview and an event will not count as bounce. However if you set the "noninteraction" flag to "true" the event will not be counted towards the bounce rate (i.e. somebody who has only one pageview and one or multiple event hit will still count as a bounce).
So for your examples, and any other use cases you can come up with, simply count the numbers of interactions that do not have a non-interaction flag set (and adjust your tracking code according to your use case). If the number is larger than 0 the visit will not be counted as a bounce.

My custom event does populate into my GA4 Analytics, but during testing, the events in the GTM preview don't show up until the next click after the triggering event.
Oddly, it seems that after the initial trigger of each event (with the followup click) they appear to
For the follow-up click, I can click anywhere on the page.
The trigger is set to "All Elements" and Firing when the element matches a CSS selector of [data-XXX="XXX"] and the page URL contains a keyword.
I'm concerned that due to the extra click needed I may be losing some non-zero portion of data. My site doesn't get too many of this particular event so every one counts. The event tracks our online reservation and I need it to be accurate in our Google Ads data so our ROI on ad spend is as accurate as possible.
I know there's a trigger on form submit, but the form doesn't actually trigger this way due to JS. And it does work with the "All Elements" trigger I'm just concerned about the extra click before I see it populate in the preview window.
After closer inspection I found that the followup click is not required.
The summary view does not appear to show ALL info for every single click in realtime. Instead if you choose to look into the data for each click as the happen you can see that the events are triggering as intended, but that new events don't always show in the summary view until after the next click registers.
Hopefully, a future GTM update may fix this as it is not intuitive that the summary view would ever not have the most current data.
TLDR: check the view for each click in the GMT preview and don't rely solely on the summary view.
I set up a trigger for the visibility of an element that is located on the page after payment. The problem is that this page automatically reloads every 10 seconds. The trigger fires on every load, which distorts my analytics.
I cannot specify for the tag "Once per event", because the same client can make another order and get to this page (on another day). The page does not have a custom URL, so it only remains to track it by the visibility of a unique element (success icon)
How can I make it so that the event is only registered once, even if the user reloads the page himself or the browser does it automatically?
The simplest thing you could fix it with is by setting a cookie after you send your event. And make a blocking trigger to block it from firing if the cookie is set.
Make sure to set appropriate expiry time for that cookie.
A more complex, but firm implementation would involve your web-dev team. So that the event would rely on the actual payment being sent rather than some page loading or a cookie being there. It should also be fairly easy for the front-end. They just need to add a dataLayer event push to the payment's success callback.
For the event you are capturing on visibility, send the payment id or some sort of id that's unique to that particular payment as part of the event label.
This way all the payments will be captured will have a unique label and you can either count the number of rows for the number of payments OR the "Unique Events" metric (note, if the user is allowed to come back to this page in a new session, then the event will trigger again and the "Unique Events" metric will increment by 1 for that event, so if this is the case, count the number of rows)
Better yet, use e-commerce features in GA and capture this as a transaction.
I have a webpage consisting of a modal popup that would show up on click. I want to give the link to several audiences, and track each audience's duration when opening the open button until they finally click the close button.
How do we track the duration?
You must track an event to be sent to Google Analytics when the user clicks on the buttons (both on Open and Close).
Time is calculated by Analytics for the difference between the first and last interaction.
I have set up event tracking to track how many times the page is visited + how many times a modal trigger button is hit + How many times a form in the said modal is submitted.
Implemented tracking via GTM.
Now when I test with the GTM preview tool, events are reflecting fine but the form submission is displayed twice (with the event triggering for both) even tho form is submitted only once as intended.
Does this mean the GTM is logging 2 events for each submission or is having 2 occurrences in GTM preview a normal thing?
Screenshot of the preview tool
It is not normal, it means that the event is sent 2 times.
I have an ajax form with some questions of choice but every question will be displayed on new screen (screen by screen) by button.
I want to track users behavior on my form page. I want to know after which question user has left the page (which questions they filled up)
Also I would like to know from which devices they have visited the form page and how long they were on this page
Is it possible to track all of this by GA or GTM?
If the form is screen-by-screen as you said, it sounds like you need to track two things.
An event for clicking the "Next" button
A virtual pageview for each screen.
This way, you can look into your Exit Pages report to see what screen the left the page from.
As for device tracking information, that type of data is automatically captured by GA.
So, basically. You'd have a virtual pageview for the first screen (assuming this form is a popup modal). If it's not a popup modal, then you'd just have the normal pageview for that first screen.
For instance, if the user has to click a link/button for the form to start, then you'd, ideally, fire an event for clicking that link/button, fire a virtual pageview when the first screen loads, fire an event when the user clicks the next button, then rinse and repeat for the subsequent screens.
Also, it may be a good idea to track the last screen's "next" button (or "finish") button as a separate event. Then, you can see in your events report who has filled out all of the screens and submitted.
Another thing worth pointing out: If you also want to show which question was the last one filled out, you can provide the name of the question (or an id, or some kind of brief and canonical identifier) in the virtual pageview as a custom dimension.
