Descripción

I'm trying to track outbound link navigations, and found that the way to do this with google analytics is to send an event and in the options set a `hitCallback` key to a function that will be called when the event has been received. This just flat out doesn't seem to work.. here's my component.js:

``` js
function exitToMessenger() {
console.log('redirecting to messenger.com!!')
window.location.href = 'https://www.messenger.com/t/heyimlea';
}

export default Ember.Component.extend({
metrics: Ember.inject.service(),
actions: {
sendToMessenger() {
console.log('send to messenger called')
var metrics = Ember.get(this, 'metrics')

var eventData = {
hitType: 'event',
eventCategory: 'Outbound Link',
eventAction: 'click',
eventLabel: 'Sent to messenger!',
eventValue: 'https://www.messenger.com/t/heyimlea'
};

// if (navigator.sendBeacon) {
// //https://github.com/googleanalytics/autotrack/blob/bcdd409c22430553a2a43275386877bf37600e68/lib/plugins/outbound-form-tracker.js#L77
// //https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/sendBeacon
// eventData.transport = 'beacon'
// metrics.trackEvent(eventData)
// //metrics.trackPage({page: '/sent2messenger', title: "exiting to messenger" });
// //be sure analytics.js calls sendBeacon before exiting
// setTimeout(exitToMessenger, 4)
// } else {
eventData.hitCallback = exitToMessenger;
metrics.trackEvent(eventData)
// }
}
}
```

Searching something along the lines of 'analytics track outbound link' I find this help article from google analytics suggesting this method: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1136920?hl=en
Here's the docs on hitCallback: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/sending-hits#hitcallback

I'd love to get this fixed and tested asap so that the ember community can have one comprehensive addon for analytics
