- Select Equals to and input the full URL of the confirmation page (e.g.,
https://yourwebsite.com/thank-you).
- This will allow Google Analytics to track how many appointments were booked (based on visits to the confirmation page).

- To do this, you’ll need to add custom JavaScript event tracking to the button that users click to book an appointment.
