Do I have to use the TinyMCE button to add event tracking?

No, you can simply add data-track=”event” to trigger the event, and use data-category, data-label, and data-action to include those elements in the event.

Does this track all click events?

If you use the simple editor button, or add the data-event = “true” to any <a> tag, then it will track the event in Google Analytics.

Does this only work with GTAG?
