Trying to capture a click on website without a link

[Anonymous]

Hi there, 

On our website we have a pop up ad that we are able to track leads as they click through to the webpage. However, we are also trying to capture those that are clicking to close that window and not clicking through to the webpage. Is there a way to capture that data somehow? We do have a munchkin code set up on our site.  

Any help or suggestions much appreciated! - Erica

Hi Erica,

So are they clicking on an "x" type close button?  And you want to track that?  

You can do this, but you'd want to do it through an API.  Then typically the API would request a campaign called something like "Closed Form".  (that will be the action you can filter on in your smart lists and measure how many people are doing this).  

Is there someone on your team or someone you work with that knows about APIs?

There's no need to use Request Campaign. The Munchkin `clickLink` action is easily triggered and can be attached to any element on a page (it automatically attaches to standard A tags but will need to be added as an event listener in other cases such as pure-JavaScript navigation).

Ah, well done Sanford, yes, much easier solution that way.
