I have a very simple Google Tag Manager trigger that looks like this:
I also have a corresponding tag that uses this trigger. I have published my container, and the tag shows up when previewing/debugging the container:
I also see my link's id in the response from GTM. However, I don't see a GTM listener for click events on my page:
And, moreover, no GTM action occurs when I click the link. (The link is a simple a tag with id="currentcustomer"
.)
What am I missing here?
Uncheck "Wait for Tags" and "Check Validation". When either of these is specified, you get the "Enable When" section of the tag which allows you to specify when the trigger should be listening for the related event.
