To track the number and demographics of clicks on a button with a mailto link using Google Analytics in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

Set up Google Analytics:

In the "Name" field, enter onclick. In the "Value" field, enter ga('send', 'event', 'Button', 'Click', 'Email Button').
Save the changes.

Test and verify the event tracking:

Publish your Webflow site and go to the live version.
Click on the button with the mailto link.
Go to your Google Analytics account and navigate to "Real-Time" > "Events" to see if the event is being tracked.
