Downloads

wheremyflow captures clicks on file links automatically — no need to instrument every <a>. The data appears under Content → Downloads.

#Extensions tracked by default

.pdf, .zip, .rar, .7z, .tar, .gz, .csv, .xls, .xlsx, .doc, .docx, .ppt, .pptx, .mp3, .mp4, .mov, .dmg, .exe, .apk, .iso.

#How it works

On every click on an <a href> whose extension matches, the snippet emits a file_download event with the properties:

• file_path — the file path (without the domain).
• file_name — the bare filename.
• file_ext — the extension (without the dot).
• link_text — the link text (max 200 chars).

#Disable

If you don't want a particular download tracked (e.g. on a heavy doc page where the same file is linked several times), add data-wmf-ignore to the link:

<a href="/specs.pdf" data-wmf-ignore>specs.pdf</a>

#Extend

For non-standard extensions, fire the event manually:

document.querySelectorAll('a[href$=".gltf"]').forEach((a) => {
  a.addEventListener('click', () => {
    window.wmf('event', 'file_download', {
      file_path: new URL(a.href, location.href).pathname,
      file_ext: 'gltf',
    });
  });
});
