Capture the users clicks inside our SharePoint modern home page (how click on quick link modern news, etc..)

Question

We have a SharePoint online modern page which contains, those main Web Parts:-

1. Quick links

2. News web part

now we want to capture the users clicks and store them inside a SharePoint online list to show the statistics inside Power Apps or Power BI. so if UserA clicks on quick link named "Our Website" >> to capture this info inside a SharePoint custom list:-

Title---> CreatedBy

Our Website---> UserA

Our Website---> UserB

so how we can build such a feature? and can we benefit from the Graph API to get those info and show them inside Power Apps or Power BI instead of building this from scratch ?

Answer 1

You can try adding SPFX in that page. As an example I have called a function and capturing the quick links. Please note that I am using Quiklinks of compact layout option.

In SPFX , call the custom function and in that function capture the a href of the quick links

  private TestFunction(): void {
    $(document).off().on('click', 'div[class=ms-List-cell]', function() {
        var qLink = $(this).find('a').attr('href');
        console.log(`qLink `); 
        console.log(qLink); Here check qLinks if that is of your company then add in SharePoint with current user.
  });

}

Hope this will give you some direction
