![]() ![]() Try all three and see which one fits your needs the best. Which one is better, you ask? Well, it’s up to you. But unlike Data Slayer or Data Layer Inspector, this plugin enables you to check the Data Layer without having to use the browser console. What you’ll get is the JavaScript function that should be used in a GTM Custom JavaScript variable.Īnother extension to help you easier debug what’s happening in the Data Layer. How does it work? Open the JavaScript console in Chrome, highlight any element on a website, and click the extension icon. If you’re not familiar with the DOM variable, feel free to use this extension. This useful plugin enables you to easily create Custom JavaScript variables that retrieve values of particular website elements. I’m also giving a closer look at this extension in my Intermediate GTM course. What I like about it, is that the extension ( by Adswerve) can inject your GTM container on a site, logs what data was pushed to dataLayer, runs diagnostics for most common issues, and offers a bunch of other features. Halting the default action prevents links from working, thus you can easily check what happens on a website and what data can be used for tracking purposes. Why prevent the default action of click or form submission? For debugging reasons, it’s better if you stay on the same page. When enabled, it prevents links from redirecting you to another page and form submissions from refreshing/redirecting you to another page. Ability to copy values from GTM Preview and Debug Mode’s Data Layer Tab and many, many other enhancements.Īnd I’m just scratching the surface here! Many more enhancements are waiting for you.Ĭreated by Simo Ahava, this extension lets you debug clicks and form submissions easier.Ability to turn all GTM built-in vars on/off at once.Set default page in GTM interface (instead of Overview).Focus on the same report when switching view in Google Analytics.WASP also supports Omniture, SiteCatalyst, DoubleClick, and any other platforms you may be implementing.ĭa Vinci Tools brings handy enhancements, bug fixes, and hacks directly into the Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager interfaces. WASP’s functionality allows you to peer into the Google Tag Manager data layer which eases the troubleshooting of Google Tag Manager and Universal Analytics implementations. This extension is for advanced users. WASP gives you a visual representation of the tags firing on your site and the correlation between them.Ĭlicking any of the tags provides deep technical insight into what’s happening behind the curtain. However, I’ll still keep this here for a while (because maybe that’s a temporary issue). Update: It looks like this plugin is no longer available, as it returns a 404 error in the Chrome Store. Not only does it support Google Tag Manager, but it also plays well with Tealium. Even though it does not have Legacy’s debugging features, it will still enhance your GTM’s preview and debug mode.Īnother entry in this list of Google Tag Manager Extensions, Dataslayer, adds a panel to Chrome Developer Tools that monitor tag management data layers and displays changes in an easy-to-read, user-friendly format. So if that happens, then you can use a lighter version of the extension, and it is called Tag Assistant Companion. Eventually, this extension will be deprecated. However, as you have already noticed, the name of the extension contains the word “Legacy”. By the way, you can find my guide on this extension here. This allows you to “record” a browsing session and produce a report on all of the hits being sent through and even how they will potentially show up within Google Analytics. One of the most powerful features within the extension is recordings. Not only does it help with troubleshooting Google Tag Manager, but also Google Ads, Analytics, DoubleClick, and other tools can be easily verified. ![]() The Tag Assistant Chrome extension is a very useful tool for testing and debugging your implementation.
