How do I create a custom event in Google Analytics 4?
Asked on Nov 27, 2025
Answer
Creating a custom event in Google Analytics 4 allows you to track specific user interactions that are not automatically captured by default. This can be done through the GA4 interface under the Events section.
- Sign in to your Google Analytics account.
- Navigate to Admin → Events under the Property column.
- Click on "Create Event" and then "Create" to define a new custom event.
- Enter the event name and configure the conditions that define when the event should be triggered.
- Save the event configuration to start tracking it in your reports.
Additional Comment:
- Custom events help capture interactions specific to your business needs, such as form submissions or video plays.
- Ensure your event names are descriptive and consistent to maintain clear reporting.
- Test the event setup to verify it triggers correctly before relying on the data for analysis.
