Can I get an alert when someone gets a 404? Is this possible?Posted Thu May 17 2012 4:13pm by AliceClicky
If you setup a goal for your 404 page then setup an alert for that goal - yes!

When the user gets the 404 the address they typed stays in the address bar so I'm not sure how I'd set up an alert for the page ? That was my stuck point.

So the URL doesn't change but on the backend they are accessing a special 404 page right? It sounds like you have a custom 404 page since you are seeing these in your Clicky stats (I'm assuming). Then you can just add this to the page, above the tracking code:
[script]
var clicky_custom = { goal: '404 error' };
[/script]
(Note: you can't use just a number like '404' as the goal's name, as our code will think that's a numeric ID instead of a "name").
Then you will see a goal for this whenever someone lands on a 404 page.
