How to Configure Mid-Funnel Standard Events

We’ve expanded Elevar’s standard events library to include more mid-funnel
intent signals to capture customer behavior that happens before purchase.

Overview

Follow this guide to learn more about the new expanded standard events and how to configure them in your destinations and push the events to the data layer. Configuring these events will allow the data to be passed both client-side and server-side, which allows for data enrichment of server sent events.

Understanding the Mid-Funnel Standard Events:

NOTE: Elevar Client Side Tracking versus Google Tag Manager for Web Events

If you are using the Elevar Client Side tracking and you select the "Web" option for the desired events, there is no further setup required.

If you are using Google Tag Manager for client side tracking, then you will need to redownload the web container and update it in your GTM workspace to see the new standard web events. You'll be guided in-app on how to do this.

Push Standard Events in your Data Layer:

  • Once you have enabled the new expanded standard events in your destination, you will need to push them into the Elevar data layer in your code or google tag manager. This will make the events available for Elevar and Google Tag Manager if using GTM for your client-side tracking.
