How can I implement event tracking with Gatsby and Google Analytics?

You can use the gatsby-plugin-google-analytics plugin to set up Google Analytics in your Gatsby site. To track events, you'll need to use the window.gtag function.

What kind of events can I track?

You can track various events like button clicks, form submissions, and page views. Just define the event parameters in your tracking code.

Can you show me an example of tracking a button click?

Sure! You can add an onClick handler to your button like this: onClick={() => window.gtag('event', 'button_click', { event_category: 'engagement', event_label: 'signup_button' })}.

Is there a way to test if my event tracking is working?

Yes! You can use the Google Analytics Debugger Chrome extension to see if your events are being sent correctly.
