Trying to figure out how this can be accomplished... =/
The regular Google Analytics code doesn't track in a javascript lightbox popup, so we had to use a Analytics custom event for tracking.
I believe we might be running into the same problem now with our Google Adwords conversion pixel that we're trying to add into another lightbox popup after the ones with Event Tracking on them.
I can't find any other topics anywhere on this subject. Is this possible or able to be done using another method similar to how Event Tracking can be used with Analytics?
It's certainly doable with some Javascript voodoo, but a much easier solution would probably be to set up your Analytics event (that you already have) as a goal, and then import this goal as a conversion into Adwords. Note that this solution requires you to link your Analytics and Adwords accounts.

I'm trying to track how people use my shiny app with google analytics.
for that i strart with a reproducible exemple i found here
the tracking work for classic messure but the two event "button" and "click" are nowhere to be found in google analytics so I assume that doesn't work that way anymore.
I also try GALOGGER same result user tracker works but not sepcial event. Is any one have a solution to creat event into google analytics with r ? thank you
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.

I'm fairly new to Google Tag Manager, in the past I've just fired events straight to Google Analytics. What I'm wondering is this; is it possible that, if you use Google Analytics alongside Google Analytics tags in GTM, can you get duplicate data in Google Analytics?
For instance, let's say I have a Pageview tag in GTM, as well as GA on the webpage as normal. Would this count as two pageviews? (ie. one from standard GA, one from the GTM tag)
I've looked around for an answer, but maybe it's just a stupid question!
If both track to the same property you'd get two pageviews in that Ga property.
However there is a good chance that both pageviews would end up in different sessions; GTM creates a random name for the Google Analytics tracker, while the tracker within the page would track to the standard tracker (t0; read about naming trackers here), unless configured otherwise.
IMO it is not a good idea to mix GTM and inline trackers with the same property, since it's hard to be sure that both use the same configuration. And yes, your pageview will be counted twice.
I am managing an account in Adwords. The developer and UX have decided to track events rather than conversions in Google Analytics. Since for events, there is no unique URL for placing a tracking code as is the typical method in Adwords, we need a way to convert events in a trackable goal in Adwords.
Can someone walk me through the process for doing this? I have contacted Google support for some help on this issue, but this is a relatively new feature so they were not much help this time around.
I essentially need to track a click. I know how to do this, but as this is a large client, changing code on their site is a big pain. I'd rather just turn an event into a conversion via the Analytics interface.
The below article actually helped me understand what the heck to do.
How to use events as goals in Analytics
The official documentation on this is terrible. It's a somewhat complex task if you've never done it before.
So just do the above, then import as normal from your analytics account.
I have read a lot of places that you can count using Google Analytics. I already use it on my site to track visitors.
How would I track how many people have clicked a spesific button and show the number of times it has been clicked on another page?
You want to implement Event Tracking. As far as displaying the results on another page, Google doesn't support showing charts/graphics outside of the Google Analytics site. But you could find 3rd party app developers on the Apps Gallery which do this. I for one have created EmbeddedAnalytics for precisely this purpose. And we also support dimension filtering so you could create a chart to show your specific action clicks.
You can learn about the Google Analytics API at https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v3/reference and even try it out interactively using http://ga-dev-tools.appspot.com/explorer/
If you use Drupal you can easily install module Google Analytics Counter that will automatically fetch and display pageviews collected by Google Analytics. Other CMS certainly have similar plugins.
