hushly('bind', 'content-view', function(options) {
    dataLayer.push({
        'event': 'hushly_content_view',
        'experience_name': options.experienceName,
        'stream_name': options.streamName,
        'asset_name': options.assetName
    });
});

hushly('bind', 'content-interaction', function(options) {
    dataLayer.push({
        'event': 'hushly_content_interaction',
        'experience_name': options.experienceName,
        'stream_name': options.streamName,
        'asset_name': options.assetName
    });
});

hushly('bind', 'invalid-form-submit', function(formData) {
    dataLayer.push({
        'event': 'hushly_invalid_form_submit',
        'experience_name': formData.experienceName,
        'stream_name': formData.streamName,
        'asset_name': formData.assetName
    });
});

hushly('bind', 'form-submit', function(formData) {
    dataLayer.push({
        'event': 'hushly_form_submit',
        'experience_name': formData.experienceName,
        'stream_name': formData.streamName,
        'asset_name': formData.assetName
    });
});

Configure Event Handlers at Experience Level:

Navigate to Experiences, select an Experience, and go to Settings > Advanced Settings.

Paste any one of the below codes in the Event Handlers Field.
Note: Make sure you replace the <experience-guid> with the actual guid of the Experience.

hushly('bind', 'content-view', '<experience-guid>', function(options) {
    dataLayer.push({
        'event': 'hushly_content_view',
        'experience_name': options.experienceName,
        'asset_name': options.assetName
    });
});
hushly('bind', 'content-interaction', '<experience-guid>', function(options) {
    dataLayer.push({
        'event': 'hushly_content_interaction',
        'experience_name': options.experienceName,
        'asset_name': options.assetName
    });
});
hushly('bind', 'invalid-form-submit', '<experience-guid>', function(formData) {
    dataLayer.push({
        'event': 'hushly_invalid_form_submit',
        'experience_name': formData.experienceName,
        'asset_name': formData.assetName
    });
});
hushly('bind', 'form-submit', '<experience-guid>', function(formData) {
    dataLayer.push({
        'event': 'hushly_form_submit',
        'experience_name': formData.experienceName,
        'asset_name': formData.assetName
    });
});

Track Content Download

Since the content download happens on the Hushly website it is not possible to invoke the Google Analytics code directly.

From the Left Nav menu, under Setup click Field Management.
Create a Custom Field under Lead Fields to Track Google Analytics Identifier, Set the default value as {{cookies._ga}}

Navigate to Setup > Settings, and scroll to Tracking Section:

Set the value for the Tracked Cookies field as _ga.

Paste the following code in the Download Tracking Code field.

Note: Please change the value of the 'tid' variable to your Google Analytics account id.

<script>
var gaCookie = '{{lead_c.google_analytics_identifier}}'.split(".");
var tid = '<XX-111091507-1>',
    cid = gaCookie[2] + "." + gaCookie[3];
var url = new URL('https://www.google-analytics.com/g/collect');
var searchParams = url.searchParams;
searchParams.set('v', '2');
searchParams.set('tid', tid);
searchParams.set('cid', cid);
searchParams.set('t', 'event');
searchParams.set('dl', '{{lead_c.sourceUrl}}');
searchParams.set('dt', document.title);
searchParams.set('en', 'hushly_content_download');
searchParams.set('ep.stream_name', '{{stream_c.name}}');
searchParams.set('ep.experience_name', '{{widget_c.name_c}}');
searchParams.set('ep.asset_name', '{{asset_c.name}}');

var img = new Image();
img.src = url.toString();
</script>
