Note

IMPORTANT: Which file should I import?

There are multiple json Tags and Triggers files available for import.

8.22.22 Tags and Triggers File

The file dated 8.22.22 contains the standard events and tags suggested by Google for initial GA4 deployment.

3.7.23 Tags and Triggers File

The second file, dated 3.7.23, includes additionaltags and events, including events that capture account creation and login activities.

Which file should you import? 

If you are configuring your GTM account for the first time, select the most current version of our tags and triggers file.

  • If you already imported a previous tags and triggers file, and have not added any customization, import the most current version of our Tags and Triggers json file.

  • If you have customized your tags and triggers file, importing our latest json file will overwrite your customization. Instead, use the most current file to compare your existing json to our new file, and add any new events/tags manually, using the same process you did when you customized the file.
