Confirm Data Layer Key:

  • Click on the first variable from this list of Elevar Monitoring Variables.

Important: If you are recreating this yourself instead of using our pre-built containers then be sure you follow our guide on this configuration closely.

Marketing Tags Updates

Marketing Tags:

  • Begin on your Google Tag Manager homepage and use the left-hand menu to click on the "Tags" tab
  • Ensure your marketing tags have the settings enabled to capture errors in your dashboard.
    • If you don't configure this properly then we won't be able to match data layer errors to the tags. You will still see data layer errors in your account if they exist.
    • If you've used our Pre-Built tag recipes then this is done for you.
      • (See Figure 5)
