Hey! Really loved the video. Howevervat 17:52 the Google Analytics Configuration Tag has now changed to Google Tag and there is no option for "send to server container". How do I fix this and send data to server container?
@AliSolanki10 ай бұрын
Ahh solved it: you've to go over to the tag configuration for Google Tag (previously Google Analytics Configuration Tag) and add configuration settings -> configuration parameter -> server_container_url and add your server url there

Important to know, that the client side and the server side GTM are two different accounts. It is not possible to use the server side GTM for both jobs as it cannot generate a GTM.js. If you want the GTM.js within your domain, you can you can use the server side GTM as proxy but you must use the ID of the client side account in the settings of the server side account. Took me some time to figure it out 😂

Thank you for this video, it's very helpful. I have a few questions regarding GCP: - Is the testing environment sufficient for a website that receives little traffic, or eventually it will imperatively need to be upgraded to flexible environment? - Can we host multiple projects on a server, or is it 1 website : 1 (or 2-3) server? - And finally, I do know it is recommended to have around 3 servers per project, is this really necessary? Thank you again for this content, it was clear and straight to the point.

1. No 2. You can use the same server for multiple websites because you can connect multiple custom domains to the same App engine project 3. Have at least two. If one fails, the other will help (to some extent). 3 servers are better, but on my blog, I use two (I get ~100k visitors a month, no major spikes in traffic)

Hi Julius, on minute 17:52 it seems that you tick 2 boxes in the GA4 Configuration. will it make double/duplicate events recorded on GA4 dashboard eventually? when GA4 event header_click is triggered, I assume it will send to 2 events (duplicate) 1. Directly from Web Container -> GA4 Server (because of the first tick box) 2. From Web Container -> Server Container -> GA4 Server (because of the second tick box) I assume if we want to use server side, then I we only need the second tick box (Send to server container) only. Thank you very much for another helpful video. You are a legend. Thank you

Thanks for the good Video it helps a lot. I have one question. Forwarding information from google Products will not be the problem since we have tag templates available. But lets assume we have some third party tool which is build in with an custom html tag in the client side GTM. I mean I could send the Data I need for example with the GTM Tag. For example price and product id. But how do I proceed on the server side GTM with these information, since there is no tag option to send the information via a custom html. Do we have to wait for other companies to create server side tag options? How do we proceeed with other advertisers where there is a template in GTM client but not server side?
@AnalyticsMania Жыл бұрын
You would need to write a Client (this requires JavaScript knowledge and Sandbox JS) to parse that data If you have a provider that does not support SGTM yet, you need to wait until they offer such option. You can also investigate "Data tag" and "Data client" by Stape

Hello! Thank you for your video! I've been getting the same error after I've implemented this configuration on two websites now, idk if you could help me out. It's an anomaly detection alert in GA4 (under "Reports snapshot"). It detects a "drop in users" on the date I've implemented GTM Server Side and it drops the users down to 1 or 0 users, which I find extremely odd since the average number of users for these websites has been about 60K a day, before implementing GTM Server Side.

But after selecting "Allow unauthenticated invocations", I was able to Preview successfully using my custom domain.

Can we place all SGTM in one Cloud Server to offset costs? Each cloud server will be roughly 40 - 120 per month correct? My domains are niche specific with mid level traffic. Could I place all on one cloud server? My confusion lies in the cost benefit here cause server side is very helpful when you do the custom domain so it registers as 1st party, not 3rd. But that would mean minimum of $40 x 3 instances = $120 per domain. Which could be very costly indeed. Just trying to figure out if its worth the $$$ Thank you kindly for your very informative videos.
