Would you use a GTM tool that helps with this?

[yagami-iori]

Hey guys,

Just kicking an idea around. What if there was a tool that let you set up all your Google tag manager tracking without touching a line of code?

Imagine this:

• You just point and click on any element on your site to track it.
• You fill in a few simple fields, no technical knowledge needed.
• It can handle everything from simple clicks and scroll depth to tricky AJAX responses and full ecommerce dataLayer stuff.
• It builds all the tags, triggers, and variables for you with surgical precision in just a couple of minutes.

Basically, a way to get perfect tracking set up super fast, without the usual GTM headache and ugly interface.

Before I waste any more time on this (or do I?), I gotta know: Is this something you'd actually find useful? Or is the need not really there?

Just looking for a gut check.

Thanks.

Setting up GTM can be a real pain, especially for non-tech folks. A no-code, point-and-click solution that handles tags and data layers automatically would save tons of time. I’d definitely be interested in something like that.

Thank you, for your feedback. The pain is mutual . Hopefully, I got the solution

Sounds super handy GTM setup can be a real pain If it’s accurate and beginner friendly I’d 100% give it a spin,

Here is a sneak peek of what I'm about.

I have an SDK that is loaded on the the site (can be added by adding a tag in GTM).
This image shows when you click an element and the selector has multiple matches you 'll have the option to refine your selection by clicking on one of the highlighted areas.

When an area is clicked the correct selector is updated and ready to send to the dashboard where you'll have to continue the config.

This is how the SDK works in general, but you might have noticed the "interaction" mode that only works when you need to interact with the page without selecting elements, but it has a listening function that will come handy when you are working with AJAX. Again, once you select the value to trigger, your selector is ready to be sent to the dashboard and the template will be build with JS ready to work with the configuration.

The actions dashboard :
You load a project with your already set up domain and GA Measurement ID or variable:

Next, you select your action and launch the SDK in your domain (only visible when you load your site from here)

And finally Datalayers, I have added 2 modes:
Beginners: Just the essential events and required parameters for optimal tracking.
Advanced: All parameters are available with no parenting. You know what you are cooking, so you are the chef in the kitchen.
Last step when you are done, and this is the same for all the tracking functions, you just generate a template with everything ready to serve (import to GTM)

You can also save and load sessions.

The SDK works for the ecommerce too, but you are at a level that I don't want to hold the user hand with a project and all that parenting BS. You still have an option to open any site you want with SDK loaded.

I just addressed the most complicated functions addressed in my integration. I have ignored time on site, and scroll page, because it's a no brainer.

My tool make it very easy to use the power of GTM with a clean interface. No more tags, variables, and triggers, just what do you want ot track, when/where and how (load or click).

As far as I can tell, I can track any event with very high precision with few clicks in a couple minutes. Before getting into this project I admit that I have produced some shitty tracking for clients, because some elements with nth childs that I have no clue how to select and if I do it takes hours or even days before I have a dev available to help. Forget about Ajax, I used to either track the form submit button click (which is crap) or wait for a message and capture the selector (which is crap too, because devs are lazy and use the same id/class everywhere). And I don't even want to talk about ecommerce, that shit is too difficult, but consultants are charging up to 1k$ to set it up, and Fiverr seller in non west countries charge up to 500$ with 3 days delivery. I do it under 20 minutes if we need all events configured with all the information we can gather.

The product is not ready yet, still have to work on some errors and unwanted behaviours with the UI, but the core is ready. Don't contact me for a URL or product name as I don't want to promote a product against the forum policies, when ready it will be in the marketplace. I'm only looking for feedback.

Thank you

I guess, I should keep this one for myself.

a no-code GTM setup tool would save tons of time.

 

[RankFoundry]

This sounds really useful! Setting up GTM tracking can get messy, especially with AJAX events or ecommerce dataLayers. A tool that lets you point and click to set up tags without touching code could save a lot of time and reduce errors. I’d definitely try something like this, especially for clients or large sites.

Implementing an easy point-and-click tracker would simplify the often complicated setup of GTM for marketers

 

[Ralphoton]

It sounds useful, but only if it handles complex setups well, many tools fail once tracking gets advanced.

 

[yagami-iori]

Well I did it. But unfortunately I can't post my link here.

Tools that simplify GTM configuration are interesting, particularly for handling AJAX events and ecommerce tracking. A point-and-click approach could reduce setup time and minimize errors compared to manual tagging, which is a frequent pain point on bigger projects.

 

[Oak Men]

GTM tools with point and click configuration are appealing, particularly for AJAX and ecommerce tracking. They can significantly cut setup time and lower the risk of errors versus manual tagging, a common challenge at scale.
