GTM IMPORT - Where can I find my added element ?

After creating a GA4 or GA3 tag in the J+Track interface and exporting the json file in GTM, the definition of a tag corresponds to a GA3 / GA4 event where a trigger rule is added. It’s also possible to call javascript or dataLayer variables directly in the event tag parameters.

There is currently a naming convention for the events created from J+Track, namely that each GA4 event will start with "GA4 -" and GA3 dual tagging events will start with "GA -"

A trigger is a rule or a list of rules allowing one to trigger. Like tags and variables, you can configure triggers directly in the J+Track interface and associate them in the tool with GA3 or GA4 tags. When importing J+Track data from the json file, the triggers will be added in GTM and they will automatically be linked to the corresponding tags.

There is currently a naming convention for the triggers created from J+Track, namely that each GA4 trigger will start with "CE -" and GA3 dual tagging events will start with "UA -"

The variables can be of several types: a variable calling on an element of the dataLayer, a javascript code that will return a variable value or a regular expression array.

All types of variables can be used in the configuration of tags or triggers. They allow data to be uploaded in GA3 or GA4 thanks to the configuration of custom dimensions.

There is currently a naming convention for the triggers created from J+Track, namely that each GA4 and GA3 variable will be on the “Jellyfish - GA4” folder. A dataLayer variable will start with “DLV -”, a custom javascript variable will start with “CJS -”.

During the development of a tracking plan in J+Track, it is useful to understand where the tracking elements have been added to your GTM configuration after successfully importing your json file. You will find below the methodology to be able to find each GA4 tag, triggers and variables in the GTM tool.

1) Where can I find within GTM, the variable added and listed on J+Track ?

- Go on Google Tag Manager, then click on workspace, select the one where you have import your tracking

- After selecting the workspace, click on “Variables”

- Inside the variable page, you have two sections : integrated variables and variables defined by the user.

The variables added with the GTM import will be present on the section “variables defined by user”

Tips : You can filter your variables list by clicking on the last update column to have a quickview of the last variables added.

2) Where can I find within GTM, the triggers added and listed on J+Track ?

- After selecting the workspace, on the main menu, click on the “Triggers” section

- You will see on the loaded page, the list of triggers setup on your GTM workspace.

Tips : You can see if a trigger is currently not used by the tags by clicking on the filter button in the "Triggers" column

You can also select a trigger and you will see at the bottom of the page, the list of tags where the trigger is used.

3) Where can I find within GTM, the tags added and listed on J+Track ?

- After selecting the workspace, on the main menu, click on the “Tags” section

You will see on the tags list, the GA4 tags added from J+Track with the corresponding triggers setup.
