How to trigger a pageview using Google Analytics API upon form submission

[Majsan]

I need to set up a goal using the G A API to trigger a pageview when someone submits a lead on my site. There's no "thank you"page currently. How do I go about it? There's no "thank you"page currently. How do I go about it? I have never used the API but am very familiar with analytics. Thanks!

OK, and where do i place the Javascript snippet? On a specific page on the site? Sorry, and Thank you, I am just a simple marketer

You would trigger this with JS at the time that your form is successfully submitted.

Thanks Martijn, where do I place the javascript unless I use the API?

[Martijn_Scheijbeler]

Well using their API seems a bit to much overkill. But what you could do is a virtual pageview via JavaScript. Instead of doing the normal: ga('send', pageview'); you can do: ga('send', 'pageview', '/goal-thank-you'); then that url structure can be used in the settings of a goal in GA.
