    Big update: for everyone getting stuck at the GA4 Basic when adding the new subdomain server side tracking.. When you are at the GA4 Basic settings go to Configuration setting -> Add parameter - > type in "url" and something like "server_container_url" will pop up. Select it -> add in the value next to it your custom stape subdomain URL

  • @JoanCarreras-nr2lu

    Great video, thanks a lot Cedric :) One question:
    I had three separate B2B lead gen events (meeting booked, contact form, SaaS platform sign up) setup in GA4 before starting this server-side setup.
    After finishing the setup with basic page-view standard events, I started working on the above and thought that since facebook ads only allows you to optimize lead gen campagns for one event, it would be cool if all three triggers for the B2B valuable actions were recognized as the same Lead standard event.
    The thing is that I've seen all my previous GA4 events getting passed to the server now which means I should try to avoid sending duplicated events (3 previous GA4 B2B events + another GA4 event with all the 3 actions triggers to pass the info as the same event to the server) that result more hits to the server and getting charged more.
    I don't want to lose GA4 separate B2B events for each of the three actions for reporting purposes, so how can I maintain those 3 separate GA4 events, but trigger one Facebook tag standard event conversion if those GA4 tags have custom names and not one of the equivalence Google Analytics ones that facebook recognizes as a standard?
    Thanks a ton!

    First, thanks for your content, Cedric. I was able to set up my Conversion API because of your videos.
    About Stape, just a warning for small businesses that want to use the free monthly quota of 10,000 requests:
    In the first few months, they renewed my monthly quota. But now support told me that it would not renew and that my only way out would be to go to the paid plan.
    So take that into account before embarking on the learning curve to set up Stape.

I've just a problem with deduplication when I send user data (email, first name, last name, all hashed): if I DON'T send user data nor by pixel neither by server deduplication works. If I send user data through pixel a NOT through the server, deduplication works too. But if I send user data through server, regardless if I send them or not through pixel, deduplication stops working. It's a simple pageview event, but is making me crazy. Thank you if you can help!

    Hi, first of all, thank you very much for the helpful tutorial! 🫶
    I have 3 questions regarding this setup:
    1. Have I understood the SS-GTM structure correctly that I just use ONE client (GA4) + Trigger, and then separate Tags in the SS Container for the various marketing platforms? = One Tag for CAPI, one Tag for GA4, one for G-Ads,.... ?
    2. Is it possible to use custom event names (not limited to standard names like Pageview, AddToCart, etc.) in this setup, or am I restricted to the event names provided by Meta/Google?
    3. I am not quite sure whether to set up the tagging server with Stape or Google Cloud Run. Could you advise on the level of website traffic required for Google Cloud Run to be more cost-effective than Stape?
    Thank you very much!

      You can create custom events with no problem. Just make sure the event name that you use is the same for both GA4 and FB. So if the event name is download_ebook you’ll want to have that value in the FB and GA4 tag.

    @jaebedford141 Před měsícem

    I understand that we are using browser tracking as well as server side tracking here for Facebook and deduplicating via the unique ID that they both share. I'm then stumbling at the bit where we push GA4 data. Are we doing this server-side only as the GA4 tag is only set to send data to the Server container. Or should I have duplicate web-based events in the web container that sends events directly to GA4 too which is also deduplicated?
    Very helpful so far though - thank you.

    This seems to be a breaking change in this video.
    Now in "G4 Basic" you have to add the configuration variable and call it "server_container_url" to point to the tagging server URL.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the fantastic video! I'm in turmoil and hope you can help me.
    My GTM container already has a GA4 configuration tag with a measurement Id and a "purchase" event that sends data to GA4. My question is: Should I modify the existing GA4 configuration Tag and add the server URL or make a new GA4 configuration where I should add the stape server URL and a dummy measurement ID?
    Because the end goal is to send the same event to FB conversion API. I learnt from the video that deduplication is essential, so I am asking this and also don't want to send additional info to GA4 like event_id and other fields under "Fields to set".
    I appreciate any help you can provide.

    • @VertexMarketingAgency
      @VertexMarketingAgency  Před 11 měsíci +2

      I recommend you go all in with server-side tracking so convert your current GA4 setup so it sends data to your server container and from there send the data to both FB & GA4 via server. So in other words, you only need 1 GA4 configuration.

    Hello Cedric, I wanted to express my gratitude for your tutorials. They were immensely helpful, and after working on it for three days, I was able to achieve the correct setup. However, there's still one question that I haven't been able to find an answer to. I followed your tutorial precisely to set everything up, but I've encountered an issue. The server container seems to be generating and transmitting two of the same kind of event (e.g. ATC) instead of just one as intended.
    Upon inspecting the Events Manager, I noticed that there are two events being triggered by the Server for every single event. One of the ATC events has six parameters associated with it in the events manager: value, currency, content_type, contents, content_name, and content_category.
    I'm wondering what might be causing this unexpected behavior. Could it potentially be related to the stape-io FB CAPI template? Just to clarify, I'm using Stape as the Server Side. Your insights would be highly appreciated, as getting an answer would greatly help me finalize the setup. Thank you so much once again!

    • @VertexMarketingAgency
      @VertexMarketingAgency  Před 10 měsíci

      It’s hard to say what’s causing this without doing a full audit but try changing your triggers and instead of making your tags fire “once per event” you could make them fire “once per page” and that should fix your issue.

    Hi,
    Thanks a lot for the video! I am stuck with a lead event. It worked for a few times but now it doesn't. The event does not get sent anymore to the server container. Do you have any idea what it could be?

  • @DavidOgletree
    @DavidOgletree Před rokem +1

    The json download does not match the video. All of the FB tags have 12345 hard coded instead of using a variable. In your video you have 9 custom variables. When I imported the template it only added 2: "EventID" and "timestamp in seconds". I'm guessing you have changed the download since you made this video or you didn't update the json for this vide. I do notice that my download says ver 2 and is dated 2021-10-28 Do you have a video that matches this download or a download that matches this video?
    I was able to add 2 new variables and modify the json and put {{Facebook Pixel ID}} and {{GA4 ID}} in place of "12345" and "GA123"

    Hi Cedric
    Thank you for this video, it's informative and helpful
    I used my own GA4 measurement id which was set up earlier on the site to set up the conversion API but as soon as I followed the process the conversion api was successfully set up for page view event but Google analytics stopped recieving any data.
    Is there any solution for this?

    • @VertexMarketingAgency

      It probably has to do with your GA4 tag in the server container. I think it’s missing.

    Great video though. I saw you sending events to the server container. If the events e.g. the page_view doesn't show in the debug view in Google Analytics, does it still work? I managed to get it done the same way you present it in your video but I cannot see the server events comming through. The Analytics tag fires on the server but no event showing in the debug view. If install a Analytics Browser Tag then it works. Am I missing anything here? Can you give me any advice about this?
