Can a Code Block in Rise 360 be used to add Google Analytics JavaScript? If so, how?
Hello!
I’m curious if anyone has successfully used a Code Block in Rise 360 to insert Google Analytics JavaScript. If so, would you be willing to share how you approached it in beginner-friendly terms?
My team is looking to track page views for a few public-facing trainings hosted on our website using Google Analytics. Since these need to remain publicly accessible on our website, we have to stick with web publishing.
I don’t have any coding experience, so I’ve been researching possible approaches and came across a few options. I do plan to learn coding in the near future — I just need a just-in-time, just-enough solution that’s sustainable for now, if possible.
- Storyline via trigger (then inserted into Rise)
- This seems to be the most approachable route for a completely inexperienced coder such as myself.

- Manual file modification (Post-Publish)

This feels too advanced and doesn't seem sustainable, especially if I need to watch for Articulate software updates that may impact the JavaScript.

- Third-Party Mods (such as the Mighty Chrome Extension)
- Wonderful idea, but my team does not have the funding to purchase any subscriptions at this time.

If needed, I’ll go the Storyline route — but I was hoping the Code Block might be a simpler option.
Based on all of this, is this possible, or is Code Block not the right type of tool for this? If not, are there any newer, beginner-friendly approaches you’d recommend that might work?
Thank you so much for your time!
