Custom Event Tracking

Track what makes your site uniquely yours

For the unique parts of your site that no plugin integration covers. Set up through a simple settings screen — no code, no tag manager.

Why It Matters

Why custom events?

Cover the long tail

Plugin integrations handle the common stuff — forms, ecommerce, memberships, page builders. Custom events handle everything else: the bespoke flows and one-off interactions only your site has.

No code, no tag manager

Most "custom event" tracking means writing JavaScript or wiring up Google Tag Manager triggers. Conversion Bridge gives you a settings screen with a few fields — that's it.

Sent to every platform

Define an event once and Conversion Bridge sends it to every analytics and ad platform you've connected — with the right format and the right name for each one.

Five ways to trigger an event

Pick the trigger that fits the action you want to track. Each one captures the moment and sends a custom event with whatever name and value you choose.

How It Works

From setting to tracked event in under a minute

Set up in WordPress admin

Open the Conversion Bridge settings, click "Add Custom Event", pick a trigger, and fill in the details. The event is live immediately — no theme edits, no JavaScript, no tag manager.

Scroll Depth: 75%
Time on Page: 60 seconds
JS Event: video_play

Target anything with CSS selectors

For click and scroll-to triggers, point to the element with a CSS selector — #signup-button, .cta-link, a[href*="demo"]. If a developer can target it, you can track it.

No selector knowledge? The plugin documentation walks through the most common patterns, and you can always lean on browser devtools to grab the right one.

Trigger: Click on element
Selector: .btn-demo
Event Name: demo_request
Value: 50

Attach custom values and parameters

Every custom event can carry a label, a numeric value, and any number of custom parameters. Use static text, or pull live data from the clicked element with attr:href, attr:data-id, or any other attribute — the data flows through to your platforms alongside the event.

Fire on the right pages, only

Don't track every page — restrict each event to the specific pages, posts, or templates where it applies. Run a "Get Started" button click event only on the homepage. Scroll-depth tracking only on long-form blog posts. Whatever fits the goal.

Different name per platform, automatically

Google Analytics expects generate_lead. Meta Pixel expects Lead. Pinterest wants signup. Conversion Bridge lets you set a per-platform event name in the same settings screen — one custom event, sent correctly to every connected platform.

Google Analytics: generate_lead
Meta Pixel: Lead

Why Conversion Bridge

Tag manager vs. Conversion Bridge custom events

Google Tag Manager

Triggers, tags, variables

Tracking a single click event in GTM means learning trigger configuration, tag templates, variable references, and the data layer. Hours just to get the first one working.

Separate setup per platform

Want the same event sent to Google Analytics, Meta, and TikTok? That's three different tags, each with its own configuration, each tested separately.

Outside WordPress

GTM lives in a separate Google product, not your WordPress admin. Every change means leaving your site, editing in GTM, publishing, then verifying back on the live site.

Easy to break silently

One CSS selector change in your theme and the trigger stops firing — usually with no warning. Most sites discover broken events months later when the data is already missing.

With Conversion Bridge

One settings screen

Pick a trigger, fill in a few fields, save. The fastest custom event setup is the one with the fewest steps — and this is it.

Sent to every platform automatically

Define the event once. Connect any analytics or ad platform later and the event flows to it — no per-platform reconfiguration.

Inside WordPress

Manage every event right next to the rest of your tracking. No external products, no publishing pipelines — just save and it's live.

Easy to audit and adjust

Every custom event you've configured shows up in a single list. Check what's running, tweak a selector, change a value — without hunting through tag manager workspaces.

Common questions

Yes, Conversion Bridge is a WordPress plugin and only works on WordPress-powered websites.

Yes! I am very proud of the quality and speed of support offered should you run into any issues.

Conversion Bridge supports 67 plugins, 21 analytics platforms, and 8 ad platforms. If what you need is not yet supported, send a request and I will take a look — I am always looking to grow the integration list.

Yes! Agencies are highly encouraged to check out our Agency Partner Program where you can get a free license for your own site and earn money by referring new clients to Conversion Bridge.

Yes, but using GTM will require additional setup and configuration. Conversion Bridge is a much easier way to setup analytics and ad platform conversion tracking.

Conversion Bridge can be considered a GTM replacement — one that is much easier to setup, more accurate in tracking, gives you more insights, and works directly with the analytics platforms, ad platforms and plugins in use on your WordPress website.

Yes! At any time you can upgrade to a pricing plan that includes more sites.

Absolutely. Conversion tracking is not just for ad campaigns — it is how you figure out what is actually working in your business. Without it, you are guessing which pages, emails, blog posts, and organic traffic sources are driving signups and sales.

Conversion Bridge tracks form submissions, memberships, downloads, and purchases across your WordPress site, so you can confidently decide where to spend your time, what content to double down on, and what to cut — whether you ever run a paid ad or not.

Yes. Conversion Bridge integrates with many consent management platforms, so tracking respects visitor consent decisions before anything fires.
