Set bucket on virtual pageviews

If you for example submit a form using POST and not GET, the URL will not change. How can you create and send a virtual pageview to BTB when the form is submitted successfully so this visitor can be bucketed as "converted"?

In for exampel Google Analytics virtual pageviews are created like this:

However, I do not find any information about BTB's equivalent to trackPageview in Google Analytics.

Hello Eivind,

BTBuckets provides a Javascript API with useful functions. On this page you're going to find the available functions and how to use them.

What you're looking for is the "$BTB.trackEvent" function, equivalent to the trackPageview of Google Analytics. The usage is similar, configure an Event on your bucket profile, and use the same value on the function. For example, if you configure an event named "form_submitted", just call the function on the page like this:



<script>

$BTB.trackEvent('form_submitted');

</script>

Important note: The BTBuckets tag must be placed in your HTML code above any of trackEvent calls.

If you need more help, please let us know

Thank you for your quick answer.

I had been experimenting with trackEvent, but it didn't seem to work. Fault was on my side, works splendid (and sends information nicely back to GA).

Hi,

Good responce from the BTB team!

As BTB integrates so closely with GA, it is possible to have BTB actually use GA's own Virtual Pageveiws - set up as in the first post here?
