Adobe Target - Forms Experience - Click Tracking - Mb...

[zach_shearer]

I have a forms experience setup on me homepage using the global mbox. I've setup click tracking but I'm not seeing the metrics aggregate in reporting. I have a backup metric that counts pageviews of the pages where the links go. So I know users are seeing these pages but the clicks aren't registering as I would expect. See below for more details. 

I'm tracking clicks using the following script (there are five buttons across five image carousel slides). 

    // Adobe Target Tracking
    document.querySelectorAll('li.glide__slide div.info a').forEach(link => {
        link.addEventListener('click', event => {
            adobe.target.trackEvent({
                    "mbox": "July2020_CarouselTest",
                    "params": {
                    "ctaClick": link.getAttribute('href')
                }
            });
        })
    });

I can see the mbox request when I use Adobe Experience Platform Debugger and click one of the elements. See the screenshot below. 

In my Target activity, I've created a a conversion metric targeting the mbox mentioned above. I have a refining audience requiring a value be present in the ctaClick parameter. See below for screenshots detailing this. 

As a safeguard, I've added an additional metric without the refining audience. Metrics aren't aggregating in activity reporting for this metric either. 

Finally, as a third backup, I've added the pageviews where the button clicks lead to as a metric. Activity reporting is showing pageviews to these pages. 

Why isn't activity reporting showing any conversions on my trackevent associated clicks?

Hey @zach_shearer ,

From my understanding, to use the 'Clicked on mbox' method you need to wrap an mbox around the CTA and let the user actually click on it. I believe you should try 'Viewed an mbox' as you are firing the mbox after they click on it.

Hope that works

Thanks for the quick response, @nzchris. I'll make the change and report back!

To clarify for all that read this in the future. @nzchris was correct. My mistake was using the "Clicked on mbox" option. By the time the user clicks, my custom mbox hadn't been created yet, the click was the action to create the mbox. I switched to using "viewed an mbox

Did you ever figure it out? I'm having the same problem!
