Open TCEmkenn opened 1 year ago

Hi @brendanmetzger! Just emailed you about this, but can you update the Google Analytics tag on our website? Pasting Jason's email here:

"We need to replace the tag with this one:

Would you pass this along to Brendan (or whoever is doing this now)?"

@TCEmkenn — I'm still researching this. This is a google tag manager embed, currently the site uses a google analytics embed. Anyway, b/c the site has a persistent player that means all the events/pageviews are custom fired, so they will need to be converted to the tag manager format (I'm refreshing myself on what that format is and the additional changes that need to be made).

@brendanmetzger Cool! Would it help to be connected to Jason, on our Board, about it? (He works at Google, as you might remember, and may have more thoughts!!)

@TCEmkenn took me a bit longer than I anticipated— I've updated this in 8bf99899be85aed5ff30dfecf6b0b5a3a5abd8da but events will be tracked for the time being (these are mostly related to player functions, search, page timing, and errors).

Google Analytics simply allowed any event tag to be sent, but I believe tag manager requires them to be configured in tag manager first if they are to be recorded (and then the matching tags sent on my end). Jason may have to weigh in and/or create them if necessary.

Regardless, keep an eye on if the general pageviews and other general metrics seem consistent to make sure things are working.

@brendanmetzger awesome, thank you! I'll communicate this to Jason, and keep an eye on it!
