To create a custom action:
- Add a new event by clicking the Add event

- Select the target and the event.
- For the action, select Custom > Add custom action. Google Web Designer prompts you to enter your custom code.
- Name the action in the field above the code box (after the
gwd.prefix).- Each custom action must have a unique name within the document.
- The name should be descriptive enough to be recognizable.
- If you enter an invalid name (such as a name that includes spaces), the field is underlined in red.
- Define the function in the code box. Refer to the Component APIs for a list of properties, events, and methods available for each component.
- Click OK.
