Error control

When working with goals on the user side, the plugin monitors the correct indication of CSS selectors.
JavaScript with a syntax violation does not cause an error, but fixes it in the browser console (F12).

Goal #1. SyntaxError: Failed to execute ‹querySelectorAll› on ‹Document›: ‹.class 777› is not a valid selector.

To see information about errors, in the plugin settings, enable the «Error control in the browser console» option.

FAQ

How to set up goals?

Before adding a goal, you need to create it in Yandex Metrica.

Phone

  1. In the drop-down list, select «Phone (WhatsApp)».
  2. Enter the name of the goal. For example: phone.
  3. Enter the CSS selector in the format: tel:7XXXXXXXXXX.

<a href="tel:7XXXXXXXXXX">+7 (XXX) XXX-XX-XX</a>

WhatsApp

  1. In the drop-down list, select «Phone (WhatsApp)».
  2. Enter the name of the goal. For example: whatsapp.
  3. Write the CSS selector in the format: https://wa.me/7XXXXXXXXXX.

<a href="https://wa.me/7XXXXXXXXXX">+7 (XXX) XXX-XX-XX</a>

If your WhatsApp link looks like «https://wa.me/7XXXXXXXXXX?text=Text&source=&data=», in the goal settings, specify «https://wa.me/7XXXXXXXXXX». The script will still find the desired link on the page.

Form

  1. In the drop-down list, select «Form».
  2. Enter the name of the goal. For example: form.
  3. Write the CSS selector in the format: #id_form or .class-form.

<form id="id_form" class="class-form" … >…</form>

Button

  1. Select «Button» from the drop-down list.
  2. Enter the name of the goal. For example: button.
  3. Enter the CSS selector in the format: #id_button or .class_button.

<button id="id_button" class="class-button">…</button>

Link

  1. In the drop-down list, select «Link».
  2. Enter the name of the goal. For example: links.
  3. Write the CSS selector in the format: https://example.com/path/sub/?param=value&param1=value.

<a href="https://example.com/path/sub/?param=value&param1=value">example.com</a>

The link can be as full as «https://example.com/path/sub/?param=value&param1=value», and short «https://example.com/path/sub/», the script will still find it on the page. As GET parameters, the Cyrillic alphabet is not allowed.

HTML tag

Allows you to set complex CSS selectors: header .contacts > div:nth-child(3) a[href= «tel:7XXXXXXXXXX»].

How to differentiate clicks on the phone (header, footer, sidebar, content)?

Header

  1. Select «HTML tag» from the drop-down list.
  2. Enter the name of the goal. For example: header_phone.
  3. Write the CSS selector in the format: header a[href= "tel:7XXXXXXXXXX "].

<header> … <a href="tel:7XXXXXXXXXX">+7 (XXX) XXX-XX-XX</a> … </headre>

Footer

  1. Select «HTML tag» from the drop-down list.
  2. Enter the name of the goal. For example: footer_phone.
  3. Write the CSS selector in the format: footer a[href= "tel:7XXXXXXXXXX "].

<footer> … <a href="tel:7XXXXXXXXXX">+7 (XXX) XXX-XX-XX</a> … </footer>

Sidebar

  1. Select «HTML tag» from the drop-down list.
  2. Enter the name of the goal. For example: sidebar_phone.
  3. Write the CSS selector in the format: aside a[href= "tel:7XXXXXXXXXX "].

<aside> … <a href="tel:7XXXXXXXXXX">+7 (XXX) XXX-XX-XX</a> … </aside>

Content

  1. Select «HTML tag» from the drop-down list.
  2. Enter the name of the goal. For example: article_phone.
  3. Write the CSS selector in the format: article a[href= "tel:7XXXXXXXXXX "].

<article> … <a href="tel:7XXXXXXXXXX">+7 (XXX) XXX-XX-XX</a> … </article>

There can be many variations, and you don’t have to link to header, footer, aside, or article. You can use .class or #id, as long as the selector belongs to the parent element of the HTML markup.

.content a[href="tel:7XXXXXXXXXX"]

<div class="content"> … <a href="tel:7XXXXXXXXXX">+7 (XXX) XXX-XX-XX</a> … </div>

How to track clicks on the order buttons in the price list?
