GA4 ecommerce items Array do not show up in debug mode
i am using the GTM, i am sure i passed the Array for items (using Datalayer or CJS), but GA4 does not recognized it , what i see is missing the items tab in debug mode, i don't know how that could be show up , am i doing something wrong? anyone has the same experience?
Looks like the event name is incorrect here -> View_Items.
Make sure that the event name exactly matches view_item
(stylized as snake_case).
As GA4 only allows ecommerce data collection with a set of pre-defined
event names.
Update :
I saw this checkbox is being checked
As you already set the value currency items in the event parameter. You can uncheck this setting.
I think you can follow Google's document about it
view_item_details
items: [
{
item_id: "SKU_12345",
item_name: "Stan and Friends Tee",
affiliation: "Google Merchandise Store",
coupon: "SUMMER_FUN",
currency: "USD",
discount: 2.22,
index: 0,
item_brand: "Google",
item_category: "Apparel",
item_category2: "Adult",
item_category3: "Shirts",
item_category4: "Crew",
item_category5: "Short sleeve",
item_list_id: "related_products",
item_list_name: "Related Products",
item_variant: "green",
location_id: "ChIJIQBpAG2ahYAR_6128GcTUEo",
price: 9.99,
quantity: 1
}

Make items array only contain 1 item
Google has a list of recommended events suggesting that the items are automatically collected. If your custom event name doesn't match the listed event, GA4 won't take the items data.
Note that even though you can use the GTM preview mode to check whether the data is correctly constructed, the shown data won't necessarily send to GA4.
The reason is that GTM only forwards the requested data instead of sending it to GA4 directly. To see this behavior, you may have a look at the dev tool such as Chrome dev tool. You can examine the forwarded request's payload in the network tab (search /collect.*/). If it's the recommended event, in payload, there's pr1, pr2, etc., representing your items' array data; otherwise, you'll see nothing, and thus the data won't show up in the GA4 debugging mode.
Do you use the same GTM data layer which initially track for GA Universal events ? If yes, then this may be the cause why the items array did not show on debug view since I found this issue also.
The solution is to create the new GTM Container, and name the data layer differently like 'datalayer2' to differentiate those data layers and set up your config again with 'datalayer2'
for instance, datalayer2.push(
{
event : view_promotion
....}

To collect e-commerce data, I created a Ga4 data layer with GTM.
value, shipping, tax and items. as below ('item' parameter is just test)
But my GA4 doesn't recognize the 'items' parameter ONLY. Look at the picture below
all of other parameters are doing well, but not 'items'
GA4 does not recognize the ecommerce 'items' parameter.
I can't find a solution.
Do you know why?
One way that works for only one item in the items array, is by defining a datalayer variable for each component of the items array.
Example defining a datalayer variable for each component of the items array
Dont forget to check the last parameter configuration on the image. Ecommerce; check Send ecommerce data, and select Datalayer.

Perhaps you are missing the "[]" when you define the variable "items" in the dataLayer.
When this happens, the variable items is recognized as an "object" and you need an "array". You can check this debugging with tag assitant in variables section.
This happens to me many times and you can either correct the data Layer of define a custom java script variables to add the "[]" to the variable.
items: [{ item_id: 'xxxxx', item_name: 'yyyy' , ... ]}
Good luck!

I want to track each FEDEX, DHL and UPS shipment status directly from google sheets. I am using importxml function:
=IMPORTXML("https://www.fedex.com/apps/fedextrack/?action=track&tracknumbers="&C2&"&locale=en_US&cntry_code=us","//h1/div[#class="redesignSnapshotTVC snapshotController_addr_label dest"]/title")
However it shows error.
Attaching my sheet link for this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E1L0rn9-H4MCutI1On2uHDkkPo1pdjRpv014YREGIdU/edit?usp=sharing
Please tell what is best way to do it. I am from non tech background.
Thanks so much for help!
Common issue. You're trying to import html that is generated after loading. That means we have to look for how the data you want is generated.
Data source
Upon inspection of the site, I found that it was making an XHR to the URL https://www.fedex.com/trackingCal/track, and that it was doing so via POST with a long payload. The response was in JSON format. Of note, there is the scanEventList entry.
"scanEventList": [{
"date": "2020-07-15",
"time": "13:15:00",
"gmtOffset": "-07:00",
"status": "Delivery exception",
"statusCD": "DE",
"scanLocation": "SAN BERNARDINO, CA",
"scanDetails": "Future delivery requested",
"scanDetailsHtml": "",
"rtrnShprTrkNbr": "",
"statusExceptionCode": "17",
"isClearanceDelay": false,
"isDelivered": false,
"isDelException": true,
"isException": true
},
...
]
Solution
First, get the ImportJSON script from GitHub, and add it into your sheet's scripts (Tools > Script Editor). It's not the most amazing thing, but it will at least give us ImportJSONViaPost() to get the data we want:
=INDEX(ImportJSONViaPost("https://www.fedex.com/trackingCal/track","data=%7B%22TrackPackagesRequest%22%3A%7B%22appType%22%3A%22WTRK%22%2C%22appDeviceType%22%3A%22DESKTOP%22%2C%22supportHTML%22%3Atrue%2C%22supportCurrentLocation%22%3Atrue%2C%22uniqueKey%22%3A%22%22%2C%22processingParameters%22%3A%7B%7D%2C%22trackingInfoList%22%3A%5B%7B%22trackNumberInfo%22%3A%7B%22trackingNumber%22%3A%22"&A2&"%22%2C%22trackingQualifier%22%3A%22%22%2C%22trackingCarrier%22%3A%22%22%7D%7D%5D%7D%7D&action=trackpackages&locale=en_US&version=1&format=json",,"/TrackPackagesResponse/packageList/scanEventList,/TrackPackagesResponse/packageList/trackingCarrierDesc","noHeaders"),1)
Arguments:
URL for the tracker
The POST payload. Cell A2 Holds your tracking number.
Leave empty
Query - Lets us select the data that we want. In this example, I chose to select the carrier description and the entire scanEventList entry, but you can specify particular elements of that as well.
"noHeaders" means just the data.
Just using the JSON import gives us an entry for each element of scanEventList, but the first is the most recent, so, we use INDEX to retrieve the first entry, which should contain what you need.
For additional help on the ImportJSON package, see here.
In a to-do list where users have both system-created items and their own items, how would you store the items?
A to-do list can have a mix of items. The system-created items can be modified and deleted just like user-created items. There difference is the titles and description text for the system-created items are initially pulled from a configuration. Many users can have the same system-created items. E.g. if two users want to paint rooms in their houses, they'd both get "buy paint" items.
Option 1
Save the full system-created items (including the title & text) with the user-created items.
Pros: Flexibility for user modifications since the items belong to the user and are not dependent on a central item configuration.
Cons: Lots of redundancy because there will be many users all with the same items.
Option 2
Save references to a configuration for system-created items with the user-created items.
Pros: Flexibility for system modifications since if we want to say "buy X-brand paint" instead of "buy paint", the change is easily reflected for all users with this item.
Cons: System-created items have to persist forever in the configuration even if the item is no longer relevant for new to-do lists because otherwise the user's reference will be broken.
Other options?
Thank you!
My initial thought is - what is your requirement? Your user-flows and project road-map might contain information to inform your design.
From your question "system-created items can be modified and deleted just like user-created items":
This indicates that you are going to have to have a way to track modifications to your 'system-created' templates per user or convert them to 'user-created' messages when they are edited.
This is more complexity than you seem to need
It seems much simpler to create messages from system templates, then have them be regular messages.
A bit of extra storage is not going to break the bank
You have not mentioned any case where you would need to operate over only system-created to-do's. But in this case, you could include created-by metadata.
I think the key here is whether you need to be able to modify a "system todo", and that change to be reflected in all the "user todos"...
If that's a requirement (it sounds sensible to me), your only option is Option 2 - the real con of Option 1 is once you copied the "system todo" as a "user todo", you cannot tell anymore whether they're related...
I'd go for a model similar to this, with 2 entities/tables:
ToDoTemplate
Integer id
String name
String description
ToDoItem
Integer id
ToDoTemplate template
Boolean completed = false
?String name = null
?String description = null
When you create a ToDoItem, you create it based on a ToDoTemplate (it may be a blank template), and you set the name and description as null, reusing the template name/description... Only if the user modifies their own ToDoItem is when you store that value... i.e.
String getName() {
return this.name != null ? this.name : this.template.name;
}
This is the most flexible of the approaches, and the only valid in many situations... Note the con you mention:
Cons: System-created items have to persist forever in the configuration even if the item is no longer relevant for new to-do lists because otherwise the user's reference will be broken.
This is not a con really - as long as there's one ToDoItem that uses a given ToDoTemplate, the template is still relevant, and of course there's no reason to remove it...
Apologies in advance, I'm new to relay and not sure I've got all the terminology here right...
I have a (simplified) graph that looks like:
customer {
summary(id: "ABC123") {
records { // This is an array of Record
tag
}
}
}
Customer, Summary and Record are all objects with global IDs - they show up as records in the Relay DevTools inspector.
I have a mutation that removes a tag by name (from elsewhere in the graph - not shown), from which I need to update the customer summary object to remove the record with associated tag. I have tried two approaches and not gotten very far with either:
Re-request customer.summary as part of the mutation. The problem is I don't know what the ID is at that point. (Maybe I can thread it through some how, but that would be messy.) Also doesn't really solve the problem, since I'd like to do this optimistically.
In an optimistic updater, remove any tag record that matches. This seems like it should work, but the RecordProxy doesn't appear to have a rich enough API to enable me to do this.
First approach, I can't seem to get access to the summary record via the root:
const customer = store.getRoot().getLinkedRecord('customer') // works!
customer.getLinkedRecord("summary") // undefined
customer.getLinkedRecord("summary", {id: "ABC123"}) // undefined
Second approach, if I could ask the store for "all records of type" or even "all records" I could iterate through and find the one I need to edit, but this doesn't seem to be a method that's exposed (even though Relay DevTools must be doing it somehow).
I have the following questions that I was not clear on from the API documentation:
Which fields are required to create an event?
What does "Invalid field: 0" mean? (this was an error message received when trying to create an event)
The sample body includes "spaces" as string -- is this the space name or ID?
Is this required? If yes, to create a space I need an event ID but to create an event do I need a space?
Hey thanks for using our API. It looks like the developer docs on our portal got kind of mangled. We'll be working on fixing that soon.
In the meantime, let me try to help.
So, the actual required fields for that endpoint are very minimal, here is a small sample post I made for a room here at Social Tables:
{
"name": "Dan's Office Party",
"category": "Other",
"spaces": [
{
"name": "st test"
}
]
}
The key thing here is that spaces is an array, with at least a name property attached.
The error message you referred to is a failing validation check on the type of one of the fields you submitted.
You do need a space to create an event, but as you can see, only the name is absolutely required. However, if you want to do any diagramming with that event, you'll probably want to attach a venue_id with one of our floorplan IDs in addition to the name property.
I have created an issue to update the mangled doc located at https://developer.socialtables.com/api-console#!/Events/post_4_0_legacyvm3_teams_team_events and will comment here when it is updated.
