Populating Goal Type values using tags

Context

In Piano Analytics it is possible to populate the Goal Type property to identify events that correspond to the achievement of a goal.

Previously, the goal declaration was done by declaring a goal page with a primary or secondary type, and then receiving a hit containing a page load.

The Goal Type property enables users to declare a wider variety of objectives.

Tagging goal types

In order to populate the Goal Type property directly from the tag, make sure that:

• You are using a recent version of SmartTag (JS: 5.21.0 / Android: 2.17.0 / iOS: 2.18.0) or a Piano SDK.

• You are using the custom property setting method described in our developer documentation with the following tag, taking care to edit the goal value:

tag.setProp('goal_type', 'objectivevalue');

or for Piano SDK (developer documentation):

pa.setProperty('goal_type','signup');

By adding this tag to your relevant events with objectives you will inform, for each event, the corresponding value for the property goal type.
