I’m try to use the shiny new customer events admin to create a custom pixel for our dataLayer/Google Tag Manager implementation. Previously, our GTM script and custom dataLayer event scripts have all been included in our theme. Here’s the basic script I put together to test this approach, using th…

Hi, After reading all the conditions/limitations and testing for a while the new Customer Events admin, I want to provide my feedback, because the new tool has many flaws: You cannot validate the tags or dataLayer before publishing because the sandbox environment does not allow to see events in …

If the customer also consents to analytical data tracking, then the GA4 standard events are tracked. Does this :index_pointing_up: mean that the standard GA4 events are pushed to the data layer by default? I am seeing the standard events in my data layer even though I have not set up any events …

Hi TGD1! Yes, the GA4 standard events should be published to the dataLayer by default if the customer has consented to analytical data. What issue specifically are you having implementing GTM with custom pixels?
