GTM Sonar

GTM Sonar

Debug your page template to see if it works with Google Tag Manager's auto-event listeners.

What is GTM Sonar?
GTM Sonar is a Chrome extension aimed at helping web developers debug their page templates. Specifically, this extension helps in ensuring compatibility of these templates with Google Tag Manager's auto-event listeners. Once installed, users can choose different listeners to activate on the page - click listener, link click listener, or form submit listener. The GTM Sonar extension is tab-specific, making the debugging process tailored for each individual page tab. Additionally, it provides a badge icon count for each event pushed into the debugDL array, thereby enabling users to view array contents by simply opening the JavaScript console in Chrome and typing 'debugDL'.
