I wanted to follow up on this.
I was able to track drop down menu clicks through Google Analytics Event Tracking. There’s a bunch of tutorials on how to set this up in Google Analytics. Then I added this code to my custom javascript file:
if (typeof(ga) !== 'undefined') { // Check if Google Analytics is Loaded
$(document).on('change', '.blog .sf-input-select', function(event){
ga('send','event','Blog Filter Searches','click', $(this).children(':selected').text() );
});
}
‘Blog Filter Searches’ is the Event Category in Analytics
‘click’ is the Event Action
The last bit after 'click' sends the name of the option as the Event Label
This only tracks each click, so it doesn’t track what filters were searched for in combination with each other.
