Tip* ☝️ There are many ways to track activity with GA4. This article are merely suggestion for tracking conversion events and may not be the best implementation to use. It's always worth asking a Google Analytics professional/expert for advice.

If you're using the Cliniko hosted booking portal, please skip to Checklist. The next bit is relevant where Cliniko bookings is embedded on a website.

Embedding the Cliniko booking portal comes with some limitations. It's possible to track visitor sessions, however, it's difficult to keep the "source" of each session. Without the "referral source", it will be challenging to report if the source of the booking was an ad click, social media referral, search engine, etc.

More details on the limitations and a workaround to track the "referral source" can be found here.

If tracking the source is essential, it's worth considering to use the Cliniko hosted booking portal instead of embedding the booking portal.

We can use the "Google Analytics: GA4 Event" tag to send a "Purchase" event to Google Analytics 4.

Login to your Google Tag Manager account and select "New Tag" from your Tag Manager Workspace:

Give your tag a title (Top left) and click "Tag Configuration"

Choose the "Google Analytics: GA4 Event" Tag from the list of tags:

Select the "Google Analytics: GA4 Configuration" from the dropdown menu. Enter "purchase" as the "Event Name"

Click the Triggering section here:

Select "Page view" from the trigger type menu:

Set the parameters to:

"Some Page Views"

"Page Path" -- "Contains" -- "bookings/confirmation"

Save. It should look like the following:

"Purchase" events will now be sent to GA4 upon booking completion.
