Setup Goal in Google Analytic with JS

Question

I want to record Goal in Google Analytic tool via JS so first I add code to the page like:

<meta name="description" content="iReserve">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/ico/favicon.ico" />
<!-- Google Tag Manager -->
<script>(function(w,d,s,l,i){w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l].push({'gtm.start':
new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js'});var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],
j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'&l='+l:'';j.async=true;j.src=
'https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id='+i+dl;f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f);
})(window,document,'script','dataLayer','GTM-YYYYYY');</script>
<!-- End Google Tag Manager -->


</head>

<body style="margin:0px; padding:0px; display: none;" class="" id="capture">
<!-- Google Tag Manager (noscript) -->
<noscript><iframe src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/ns.html?id=GTM-YYYYYY"
height="0" width="0" style="display:none;visibility:hidden"></iframe></noscript>
<!-- End Google Tag Manager (noscript) -->

of course, I create a Goal in Google Analytic like:

Now I add this code into my ajax function:

 success: function(data)
           {

            console.log(data);
          
            if (data.data.Status == 'Success') {


ga('send', 'event', { eventCategory: 'Reservation', eventAction: 'Submit', eventLabel: 'Confirm Reservation Form', eventValue: 1});

          .... etc ...

What is the problem? Why are Goals not recorded?

Are your events registering within Analytics but the goals are not firing?

Your eventValue is 1, but your goal rules specify a value greater than 1 to trigger the goal.

Given you've used a static value of 1 in both your tag and the goal rules, I would say you're probably better to just not use a value at all.

Remove the rule "Value Greater than: 1". Or change it to "Greater than: 0" – Michael M Aug 28 '18 at 08:59
I change it to Grater than: 0 but nothing happend – Aleks Per Aug 28 '18 at 09:02
It may take some hours for your conversions to appear in the standard reports. Have you checked the "Real time" conversions report? – Michael M Aug 28 '18 at 09:08
Do you see your Reservation events in the real time reporting? (Not as goals, just the raw event) – Michael M Aug 28 '18 at 09:12

very, very strange – Aleks Per Aug 28 '18 at 09:29
When I type ga('send', 'event', { eventCategory: 'Reservation', eventAction: 'Submit', eventLabel: 'Confirm Reservation Form', eventValue: 2}); in CHrome console this should trigger Event, right ? – Aleks Per Aug 28 '18 at 12:34
Try `ga('send', { hitType: 'event', eventCategory: 'Reservation', eventAction: 'Submit', eventLabel: 'Confirm Reservation Form'});` – Michael M Aug 29 '18 at 09:08
