Item List & Item Promotion attribution are now independent of each other. Search Term can be attributed on Item Level. If you are using SGTM and Firestore, no more Cloud Functions to write TTL.

I'm using it on 2 different projects, and it seems to work nice. Adding it to 2 more projects later this week that has more volume, and they are using the Timestamp + Cloud Functions hack. Curious how much this would reduce Firestore reads and writes.

I decided to make a Server-side GTM Template that can write Time To Live (TTL) directly to Firestore since I don't know about any generic solution that can do this. No more hacks with Timestamp and Cloud (Run) functions to delete documents. It's open source.

I had some logic based on the old format, which broke.

The GA cookie value is now stored in different format. I have seen the format changes from one Event to another within the same session. Old format: GS1.1.1746298084.1.1.1746298084.0.0.1109558877 New format: GS2.1.s1746298084$o1$g1$t1746298857$j0$l0$h1109558877

I have really been missing the possibility to write Time To Live to Firestore from Server-side GTM. And because of that, I decided to make the Template myself. #gtm #sgtm #GoogleTagManager

Nice twist with GTM pipeline. Is also on the annotation bandwagon, so made this sheet as a testing solution. Going to be integrated somewhere else later on.

Will update the "GA4 documentation solution" that uses this concept eventually (after I have written some other updates to the solution as well).

I have been using the Cloud Functions concept from this blog post from @teamsimmer.com in many different ways: www.teamsimmer.com/2022/12/07/h... But since Google is moving to Google Cloud Run Functions instead, I tried to see if I could make it work with Cloud Run Functions. I could.

FBI, CIA and the US Army exist to protect USA. If they don't take down Trump, Vance and others that are in Putins pocket, they have failed their mission. Then there are only 3 options left. The people of the USA stands up, dictatorship, or a civil war. Staying silent will not help.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

📣 Server-side GTM and Container Registry deprecation 📣 If you've received email about Container Registry deprecation, and you're wondering if you need to do something about your SGTM deployment – don't worry. Google has migrated the Docker image to Artifact Registry – you don't need to do anything.

You don't need enemies when you have friends like the USA. Yes, the toll tariffs is the orange clown, but he just delivered what he promised, and the USA elected him. Someone said no politics here, but this is simply data. The President of the USA doesn't understand data.

Correction, they are hammering the GA4 ID directly (Measurement protocol probably). So for the duplicate property the filter doesn't matter, but it would matter if I added it to the main property. So doing that now.

020

Eivind Savio @savio.no · 26/01/2025

This bot/spam traffic is not hammering the site, but either the GTAG script or GA4 ID directly. Haven't digged into that. Since I set the traffic_type "allowed" parameter value in sGTM, this bot/spam traffic never get the "allowed" value.

Eivind Savio @savio.no · 25/01/2025

So, my GA4 was hammered with bot/spam traffic again. But my duplicate GA4 Property was not. This filter works because this bot/spam traffic doesn't go through Server-side GTM.
