Handling event tracking race condition(s)

[param_das]

Hi, Is there any mechanism inbuilt in Tealium to handle the race condition(s) for Jquery-based event tracking? In other words, it performs the same functionality as something along the lines of 'setTimeout (function(){..},500)' in Js. A lot of the event tracking done by us involves tracking click-outs to external links, so it would be efficient and really handy to have some native functionality that accomplishes this task. Thanks, Param

Param, In order to accomplish "guaranteed" tracking, typically you would need to control all of your outbound links by "blocking" the built-in click functionality in the browser and doing the navigation in Javascript. This is shown here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1136920?hl=en I generally don't recommend this because you are now introducing a chance that your custom Javascript has a bug and your links will no longer work. If you are willing to take on the risk, you should be able to build something in your page (or possibly in a jQuery Extension in Tealium) that is similar to the code in the Google support link above. You would replace _gaq.push(['_trackEvent' call with a utag.link call.
