Description

Google Tag Manager has an API which enables GTM resources (containers, tags, triggers, variables etc) to be managed programatically.

I'm not sure whether this would precisely fall under this provider or not, though GTM is:

• a google service
• accessible via API
• with clearly defined resources that can have CRUD operations performed upon them

Managing this via terraform would be an absolute godsend, as there is little to no way of managing GTM as code currently, leading to issues for people trying to maintain consistency and compliance across multiple configurations.

Its something I'd love to work on myself, but I feel it would be better living within the google provider and I think it needs some real thought about how to design the implementation (which may require more time than I'm able to give it).

New or Affected Resource(s)

• google_tag_manager_container
• google_tag_manager_tag
• google_tag_manager_trigger
• google_tag_manager_variable

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "google_tag_manager_container" "site_1" {
  display_name = "site_1.example.com"
}

resource "google_tag_manager_variable" "ga4_id" {
  name = "ga4_measurement_id"
  value = "somevalue"
}

resource "google_tag_manager_tag" "ga4" {
  container = google_tag_manager_container.site_1.id
  type = "google_analytics_ga4_configuration"
  config {
    measurement_id = google_tag_manager_variable.ga4_id.ref
  }
}
