Extension summary

Easily Copy and Paste your Tags, Triggers, and Variables from one Google Tag Manager account to the next. Simply add them to the extension and then paste them into your intended account. Your items will be uploaded through the GTM API.

You can put together your own menu of Tags, Triggers and Variables that you want to copy to another account. No more Container exports and reimports through the GTM Admin interface.

Notes:

  • The relationship between Tags and Triggers will remain intact as long as they are part of the same "paste".
  • If an asset (Tag, Trigger or Variables) under the same name already exists, the extension will upload the asset with "- Copy" attached to the end of the name.
  • Currently, it's not possible to copy Built-In Variables, Folders and Custom Templates

Updates:

  • Updated to fix the error that occurred when trying to copy single Triggers (May 2023)
  • Added Firebase OAuth Flow, you don't have to be logged in to Chrome to use the extension anymore
  • Added ability to Copy whole Containers into the paste Extension (May 2019)
  • Added ability to add all Tags, Triggers or Variables at once by right clicking on the item in the right Menu and adding them to the clipboard

Same error ...throwing Error 400......please update your plugin. The other chrome extension (GTM Copy Paste - TAGGRS ) do not work either. Don't get why these extensions are still available in Chrome web store when they still do NOT work.

Not working for me. Doesn't want to copy custom variables at all. Doesn't paste anything in the new container (3 tags, 2 trigers), throwing Error 400. I have Approver's right to both containers. Then asks me for authorization with my google account again and again.
