Debug and test tag manager and analytics implementations. Trackie 🐞 is a Chrome extension to enhance debugging 👨🏼💻 of some frequently-used tag management platforms 🌩:
- Google Tag Manager
- Tealium
- Commanders Act
- DTM
In addition Trackie intercepts ⚡️ a lot of most-used tag calls (page view, clicks, checkout...) 🕵🏻♂from:
- Google Analytics
- 💎 Google Analytics 4 property (GA4), formerly known as "App + Web" property
- GA Audiences
- Adobe Analytics/Omniture
- Floodlight
- Comscore
- Criteo
- Bluekai
- Youbora
- Kinesis
- Webtrekk
- Nielsen
- 💎 Segment track + identify
Tag calls can now be exported in csv 💾 in order to better view data collected offline!
To use the unpacked source version, enable Developer mode in the Chrome extensions page and Load unpacked extension from the checked-out src folder.
The latest official version is on the Chrome Web Store.
A new panel will appear in Developer Tools titled Trackie, containing a page group and URL for each pageload in the tab, with each push to the dataLayer variable (in the case of GTM's array-based data layer) appearing in a subgroup.
- Current URL / TMS logo (or X if no TMS found); click to collapse/expand this page
- TMS container ID; becomes a dropdown menu if multiple containers are present
- Data layer items; items with a + are objects containing sub-items and can be expanded one level by clicking + or expanded fully by shift-clicking +
- Information on fired tags (GA, Floodlight, SiteCatalyst); click + here to see all parameters in the request
- Trackie settings and information
- Clear history
All items are in reverse chronological order (newest on top).
Note that vertical alignment between the data layer and any fired tags does not necessarily indicate a tie between the two. If a page contains only a data layer, or only tags, that side of the panel will expand to take up the width of the entire panel.
