title: Tracking sign_up event as a Goal in Google Analytics
body: <p>I wanted to create a Sign up goal in Google Analytics. Adding an event for signup is simple enough:</p>
  <p>gtag('event', 'sign_up', { method: 'Direct' });</p>
  <p>This successfully created events

  <p>However when I try to configure the goal as such:

  <p>Nothing happens, the Goal conversion is not counted for the events shown above.</p>
  <p>I am trying to follow instructions from here <a href="https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gtagjs/events" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gtagjs/events</a></p>
  <p>However I found very little documentation on tracking events as goals.</p>
  <p>How do I configure a goal based on the standard engagement events in Google Analytics?</p>
