User Tracking

There are data layer variables pre-set within WebChat to enable user tracking data to be passed into Tag Manager and then into Google Analytics instances.

If you have a dataLayer variable defined on the page that the OpenDialog bot lives on, a number of events that happen in the chatbot will be passed to it as the bot is used.

Events

The current list of events sent:

Chatbot Events

These are triggered by the user open/closing or interacting with the chat window

  • chat_displayed - Triggered when the chat is first displayed to the user
