How to track Success and Error Messages with Google Tag Manager

[@Iwantmore410]

Hi, Always appreciated details. One questions. I found that mobile was not tracking the visibility elements. Have you ever seen this case?

[@paraplann]

Julian, thank you, man! That video gave me many insights! ). The only thing that wasn't clear enough (and maybe not for me alone): is the way of chooseing the right Selector! Could you dedicate more precious seconds of your video to describe in detail WHY that particular CSS selector didn't pickup and how exactly one could understand that that was wrong.

[@MeasureSchool]

Hey Alex. Just noticed I forgot some links in the description. I'd suggest you'd go through the tutorial on flukeout which will teach you about CSS Selectors.

[@paraplann]

Thank you!

Hi, I'm using wp form 7. form success & error message has same "Class". Soi can't able to track sucess message alone. Is there any way to track the success message and ignore the error messsage

[@Zelielz1]

When i use the lookup table it searches for the precise input, is it possible to make it look for a "contains"?

[@santiagocontreras7890]

Fantastic video Julian, thanks! I was wondering some time ago how to set an event for the error messages!!

I'm working on a single page application (angular 8) and I don't have any tags other than html, head and body tags on my index.html when it first loaded. (app root and router outlet angular elements create DOM) What CSS selector I should use in that case ? please help

[@aravindharigoppula7041]

I figured this out. For SPAs, I needed to enable the Observe DOM changes check box. Leaving comment here, hoping it might help someone with similar issue

Great stuff, always interesting. Has anyone looked into the what level of performance loss you get from this kind of trigger in a real website. It would be really interesting to have clear guidelines for use of the visibility trigger. How much of a performance hit would it have on a mobile device on 3G (Iphone 4/5)? To build on your work, why not do a part 2 were instead of creating the success / error statement you collect the error messaging from that CSS selector, thus allowing you to understand what elements people are failing at. It really helped me to fix a lot of validation issues on webforms

[@MeasureSchool]

Well... the performance loss would be very closely tied to the elements on your website and the resources you are already using with other processes on your website. Also how many elements you are "monitoring" could impacting the performance. As a general directive you should be testing this if it's important to you. On your part 2 idea... Yes, that's a great Idea. Let me think about it.

Did you put each error message in a separate div? How were you able to segment the error messages? I'm having issues implementing your suggestion.

[@edabuyuk8076]

Nevermind, I've already found it. I made a custom datalayer variable using 'textContent'-element from the dataLayer. I called it 'dlv - Error message text' and used 'gtm.element.textContent' as input. Tested it and it works. :-)

Another great video Julian. Are you able to point me in the right direction of how I can use GTM to create content grouping within GA based on a breadcrumb trail? Thanks!

[@idhemx9204]

Any hint for how to use that for GA4?

[@leandraparks121]

Hi Julian, good stuff here. What if my css selector length is 2 instead of 1. What should I do?

[@edabuyuk8076]

Thank you for the great explanation Julian! Is there a way to track events in FB Pixel with variables? Like the way you've used the variable {{lookup - success error }}.

[@edabuyuk8076]

Nevermind, I've found it in another of your video's. Keep up the good work as always :-)

[@sevanajemian]

Hi Julian, How can I track more then 50 errors without using 50 triggers? I don't want to create a trigger for each element id :) thanks

[@hristomitkov]

Great content. Thank you!

[@JhonFxPurata]

thanks a lot, this video help me with one big issue :)

[@lucbouvier8699]

Amazing video like usual! Thank you a lot :)

Hi Julian I have a problem that my GTM is live on our Website, but we cannot login to our account. I think something went wrong when we moved our business to G Suite. Do you know who we can talk to to get back into our GTM ?

[@MeasureSchool]

sorry to hear that. No, I wouldn't have anybody to contact. Maybe you try the support of G Suite

[@СергійТиртов]

Hi! Great video, but I have a question. Could you tell me how to track events only when we don't see an error message? For example: We have a form, in which customers can choose some options of goods (options are different for different goods). Customers mandatory have to choose one of the options for goods to end the order. When customers don't choose anything, they see an "Error message", when they choose smth, it's ok. So, how could I set GTM to track the event with a rule: if we see an error - don't track it, if not - send to GA? On Which level in GTM do I need to set this option? Triggers, Tags or smth else? And sorry for my English :) I've written how I could.

[@MeasureSchool]

yes, your trigger could be configured that way

[@JustinKunst]

Thank you, excellent training!

[@Team-yp6ch]

Please update element with new update from CF7.

[@SONADS]

Thank for you support

[@reanmobisher9538]

Thanks for sharing!

[@adam_gaik]

so great! thank you!

[@brunacunha5105]

Genius!

[@robfrost1]

It'd be good if you said "visible" rather than "present" when you mean "present, but invisible".

[@MeasureSchool]

thanks, good feedback
