Insert a tracking option or a DOM event for tracking sent forms via Google Tag Manager.

Great news, our devs found the solution!

To check if the form has been successfully submitted, you need to follow these steps

1. Install GTM on your website
2. Install the widget on your website
3. Add this code to the Custom JS field on the Settings tab of your widget’s settings

```auto
widget.on("submit", () => {
  dataLayer?.push({'event': 'elfsight-form-submit'});
});

```

1. In GTM, you should create a Custom Event trigger

Now, after the form is submitted, the trigger should get activated.

Please check it out and let me know if it worked for you 🙂

Hi @Max

and the Name of the custom event trigger in GTM is “elfsight-form-submit” or does it matter?

Hi @Sina,

Yes, it should be `elfsight-form-submit` as the name for a custom event 🙂
