FYI: Tag Assistant and pageVisibilityTracker Issue #204

Open agustinv opened 7 years ago

agustinv commented 7 years ago

When setting sendInitialPageview to true using PageVisibilityTracker I can correctly confirm that page view is correctly being sent to GA by looking at the network calls to google-analytics:

eg payload includes v=1&_v=j64&a=31267556&t=pageview ...

However Tag assistant doesnt report it upon landing ie first page load on site.

You can probably close this issue since its not IMO an autotrack issue but adding it here in case someone is running into the same situation.

Yeah, this is because Tag Assistant doesn't know about beacon, which autotrack always uses when available.

I filed a bug about this internally a long time ago but haven't seen any traction. I'll re-ping that thread and mention external users are complaining about it. Hopefully that'll help.
