How to Track Advanced Scrolling on GA4
Google Analytics 4 will track scroll activity by default with the scroll enhanced measurement event—but only once a visitor reaches a scroll depth of 90%. If you want to track scroll activity at 25%, 50%, 75%, and so on, follow these steps:
- If you haven’t already, install a Google Tag Manager container code on your website.
- Set up your GA4 Configuration tag within your GTM container code.
- Create a scroll depth trigger that includes the scroll depth percentage(s) you want to track.
- Create a GA4 event tag with the scroll_depth event parameter.
- Pair your GA4 event tag with your scroll depth trigger.
- Test to confirm that everything’s working. Then, publish your GTM container to make your tag and trigger live.
- Register a custom dimension in GA4 for your scroll_depth event parameter.
- To prevent duplication in your data, turn off the enhanced measurement event in the GA4 interface for scroll tracking.
