AutoROICalc Event Tracking Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
AutoROICalc Event Tracking helps you measure the WordPress interactions that matter: link clicks, button clicks, form submissions, engagement, custom page elements, and WooCommerce conversion events.
Add click tracking directly from the WordPress block editor, without adding JavaScript snippets to individual pages. Choose what each interaction means, how it should be valued, which tags and attribution sources it should use, and whether repeated activity should count as one event.
The browser sends events to your own WordPress site first. WordPress validates the signed event configuration and relays the record to AutoROICalc with a server-side service token. Your service token is never exposed to visitors.
An AutoROICalc account and service token are required to send records.
WordPress click tracking
Track clicks on:
- Button blocks
- Navigation Link blocks
- Linked Image blocks
- Links inside Paragraph blocks
- Links inside Heading blocks
- Links inside List Item blocks
For text blocks containing multiple links, one editor configuration applies to the block while every rendered link receives its own event identity and target position. Link records can distinguish internal links, outbound links, and other URL schemes.
Event tracking from the block editor
The Event Tracking panel lets editors configure:
- Click, mouse hover, or viewport visibility triggers
- AutoROICalc record type and description
- Activity, numeric value, and tags
- Captured campaign sources or fixed source overrides
- Consent category
- Debounce behavior for repeated interactions
- Optional AutoROICalc breakdown data
Hover and visibility tracking support a configurable dwell time so brief or accidental interactions do not have to become records.
Form and custom event tracking
Optional form tracking supports validated native WordPress forms, Contact Form 7 success events, and Gravity Forms confirmations. Form field names and submitted values are never collected.
Custom targets let administrators track page elements that are not supported blocks. Add up to 20 CSS selector profiles and choose click, hover, or visible-in-viewport triggers.
WooCommerce conversion tracking
The optional WooCommerce integration can track:
- Product views
- Add-to-cart actions
- Checkout starts
- Completed purchases
Commerce records may contain product or order identifiers, SKU, quantity, value, currency, and item count. Customer details and checkout form contents are not included.
WordPress dashboard report widgets
Add authenticated AutoROICalc report charts to the WordPress administration Dashboard. WordPress retrieves each chart server-to-server with the configured service token, then displays it only to authorized administrators through a protected iframe. Configure the report ID, chart type, dataset selection, title, and height without making the report publicly accessible.
Marketing attribution and repeated clicks
Events can use marketing sources captured by the bundled AutoROICalc runtime or a fixed source list configured by the editor. Captured attribution follows the familiar source / medium convention used by Google Analytics and other web analytics tools.
The plugin derives attribution from UTM parameters and the referring URL. Examples include (direct) / (none), google / organic, google / cpc, and example.com / referral. Campaign values may also be captured, and recent unique sources can be attached to an event record.
This is independent AutoROICalc attribution. The plugin does not connect to Google Analytics or read data from a Google Analytics account.
Debouncing is enabled by default with a 10-second window. The first matching event is sent immediately and repeated activity on the same target is ignored until the window expires. Administrators can change the default, and editors can override or disable it for individual tracked blocks.
Getting started
Track a WordPress button click
Select a Button block, open Event Tracking, and enable Track this button. Choose the trigger, give the record a stable description such as pricing_signup, then review its value, tags, attribution, debounce window, and consent category before saving.
Track links in WordPress text
Select a Paragraph, Heading, or List Item containing one or more links, then enable Track links in this block. The configuration applies to every link in that block, but each link is identified separately in the generated event data.
The default link record type is web_link_click, the default description is link_click, and the default tags are wordpress and link. Editors can override these values.
Consent and data storage
The plugin does not set an attribution cookie.
Captured source history is retained in local storage. When debouncing is enabled, the per-target expiry is retained in session storage for the current browser tab, with an in-memory fallback when browser storage is unavailable.
The default consent mode requires an explicit browser signal before events assigned to the Analytics or Marketing consent categories are sent. A consent manager can grant consent through:
`
window.AutoRoiCalc.setConsent( {
analytics: true,
marketing: false
} );
`
It can also dispatch an autoroicalc:consent browser event with the same values.
Choose No runtime gate for an individual event, or Consent is managed by the site globally, only when the site has established an appropriate consent or other lawful basis before tracking runs. Site administrators remain responsible for configuring tracking and consent for their jurisdiction and use case.
Data sent to AutoROICalc
Depending on the event configuration, a record may include its type, description, activity, value, tags, attribution sources, page and target paths, post and block context, visible target label, link classification, trigger metadata, sanitized commerce metadata, optional breakdowns, and a random event identifier.
Form contents, customer details, and the AutoROICalc service token are not sent by the browser.
This plugin connects to the AutoROICalc service only after an administrator provides a service token and enables tracking.

Diagnostics and breakdowns
Settings -> Events Tracking includes a test event for checking server delivery. Debug mode adds an administrator diagnostics panel with detected, sent, and skipped event counts, consent state, and the latest REST status.
Tracked blocks can attach validated AutoROICalc breakdown JSON under custom_data.breakdowns. See the Record API documentation for the supported schema and limits.
