The issue you’re encountering may be due to your ‘transaction_id’ parameter not being populated. For the purchase event in Google Analytics, it’s crucial to fill in this parameter. If you need more information on this topic, you can refer to the Google Analytics Developers Guide, specifically the section on purchase events.

Sure, if you’ve found a GA4 (Google Analytics 4) user flow screenshot that you believe would be more effective and suitable for our purposes, we can definitely attempt to adapt our diagram to a similar style. It’s always beneficial to look to well-designed examples for inspiration, particularly those from trusted sources like Google. Please share more specific details or elements of the GA4 user flow that you’d like to incorporate in our own diagram, so I can better understand the desired changes and provide more accurate feedback and suggestions.

Sure. You’re on the right track. Your parameters are arranged as an array. Take a look at this example. You’ve got a “map” type, within are elements that each have a “type,” “key,” and “value.” To slide your variable into the value, keep going the way you’ve been using in GTM UI. So, something like {{DataLayer-Ecommerce}}. You’re nearly there, hang in there!

The user is seeking assistance in sending data from a locally hosted NodeJS server running a Discord bot, to Google Analytics 4 (GA4). Previous attempts, including sending GET/POST requests to collect endpoints, using the googleapis npm package, and using Google Tag Manager, were unsuccessful. The method used for Universal Analytics is not applicable for GA4 due to its restriction on bot traffic. The user is asking for advice on any potential npm package or other method for data transfer to GA4 using NodeJS.

Hey there, happy to help out with this! It seems like you’re trying to differentiate between ‘select_item’, ‘add_to_cart’, and ‘view_item’ events. They can be a bit tricky to distinguish, can’t they?
According to Google’s guidelines, the ‘select_item’ event should be triggered when a user is checking out several items and picks one of them from the list. So it’s more about the action of selecting an item, not necessarily about what happens next.
As for your other examples, the ‘view_item’ event would be more fitting once a user navigates to the actual individual product page or opens a preview of the product. It’s all about that moment of review or inspection.
Hope this clears it up and remember, the beauty of these systems is that you can tailor them to best fit your website’s user experience!
