Collect events for link clicks 
The automated events script does collect events for outbound links. It does not require any coding, just adding a script. You probably want to use that script.
If you want to collect events for other links or control a bit more on how it works, you can use the code below. Let’s say you have a HTML page with this content:
<p>This is <a href="/">a link</a>.</p>
Then you can use this code to add a data-sa-link-event-helper that will collect an event for link clicks:
<script>
(function () {
function saLoadedLinkEvents() {
document
.querySelectorAll("a[data-sa-link-event]")
.forEach(function (element) {
var href = element.getAttribute("href");
var eventName = element.getAttribute("data-sa-link-event");
if (!href || !window.sa_event || !window.sa_loaded) return;
element.addEventListener("click", function (event) {
var target = element.getAttribute("target");
if (target === "_blank") {
event.preventDefault();
window.sa_event(eventName, function () {
window.location.href = href;
});
return false;
} else {
window.sa_event(eventName);
return true;
}
});
});
}
if (document.readyState === "ready" || document.readyState === "complete") {
saLoadedLinkEvents();
} else {
document.addEventListener("readystatechange", function (event) {
if (event.target.readyState === "complete") saLoadedLinkEvents();
});
}
})();
</script>
After your installed the helper, somewhere on the page, you can change your HTML like this:
<p>This is <a href="/" data-sa-link-event="link_name_text">a link</a>.</p>
It will then collect an events called “link_name_text” every time a visitor clicks on that link.
