Custom Events are the Billy Grace equivalent of Goals in Google Analytics. By creating a custom event and making the event measurable by the Billy Pixel, you can see the performance of your own defined goals in Billy Grace.

Important: You need to have the Billy Pixel installed before you can create and measure your own Custom Events. Follow the installation Guide to successfully install the Billy Pixel.

To see an overview of the events you have included in your dashboard, you can visit your custom event page in the Billy Grace app.

On this page, you can create new Events and edit or delete existing Events. Click on the three dots to edit an event. On the edit page, you can give the Custom Event a conversion value. This value is used to calculate the cost per conversion of the event. On this page, you can also activate the event. By activating the event, it will be a selectable goal in several reports, and it can be used as a goal in an Optimization.
