Awesome video. This was super helpful for me. Thank you so much for creating this video.

[@gayathriramakrishnan234]

Everything works great. But I am not able to see the conversion reflect in my GA4 analytics reporting. Can you please help with this. I did submit the changes and created a version for the tags and triggers in the tag manager. Not sure if I am missing anything.

@@gayathriramakrishnan234 sorry to hear that - remember sometimes data can take up to 48 hours with GA4 to appear in your account

Can you do this without google tag manager?

[@VixenDigital]

It is possible and there are ways to do it without GTM if you're not using it, however, we'd suggest it's probably easier to do it with GTM :)
