Hi,
I would like to re-open this topic. My question is whether it’s possible to use custom fields data that would get sent to Google Analytics/Facebook Pixel.

For example this is the original code:

if( form_id == 12345 ){
            gtag( 'event', 'Sign-up', { 'event_category': 'Tour', 'event_label': 'Prague','value': '100' } );
        }

Can I do something like this?

if( form_id == 12345 ){
            gtag( 'event', 'Sign-up', { 'event_category': 'Tour', 'event_label': 'acf_tour_name','value': 'acf_tour_value' } );
        }

I’d love to be able to transmit ACF data into analytics using a single form.

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,
Jan

HI @mirackygmailcom

In general, it most likely would be possible to pass over custom fields data but not quite this way.

Let’s ay that your “acf_tour_name” is “Prague” and “value” is “100”. If you pass it over like

'event_label': 'acf_tour_name','value': 'acf_tour_value'

in the code the result will be that in your GA/FBP you’ll see

adv_tour_name

and

acf_tour_value

strings literally, not actual values of them.

To overcome this you’d need to “print out” values of these fields with PHP and use some ACF-core function to fetch field value so do something like that:

'event_label': '<?php echo get_field( 'acf_tour_name' ); ?>','value': '<?php echo get_field( 'acf_tour_value' ); ?>'

Please note: I didn’t test above code and it’s more of a general advice on what direction to follow rather than a solution. On our snippet end, the way is to print out field value with PHP but then how to get that variable it a different thing and might depend on ACF too so you might want to check ACF docs to find out more about that.

It’s a customization that goes a bit out of the scope of our support but hoepfully this will give you some kickstart.

Hi Adam,
thank you for your reply. I tried the PHP echo function but it didn’t work. It returned (not set) in Google Analytics.

I understand that it’s already beyond the scope of regular support. Please, consider adding this as a feature to your upcoming versions.

Best regards,
Jan
