Trackingplan now allows you to create **custom events based on existing events, their properties, and your tags** to track and validate any of your events with with unparalleled granularity.

## What's New?

### Tailored Event Tracking

-   **Granular Monitoring**: Create custom events to track specific user actions or behaviors, such as premium\_user\_search, to closely monitor event triggers based on segmentation or other criteria.

### Separate Traffic Analysis

-   **Dedicated Analysis**: Custom events are monitored separately from standard events, providing you with dedicated traffic analysis and specification validation for your properties and traffic warnings.

### Easy Identification

-   **Visual Clarity**: Once Trackingplan starts detecting hits that correspond to the custom event, it will automatically start sending traffic to this new event so that you can monitor its behavior directly from your Trackingplan’s dashboard, providing you with separate traffic analysis and specifications validation. Trackingplan will mark the names of your custom events in green so that you can spot them easily and, as with ** merged events**, you’ll be able to recognize them through the following tooltip.
