Overview

This node interacts with the Google Tag Manager (GTM) API to manage built-in variables within GTM containers. Specifically, the 'List Built-In Variables' operation retrieves all enabled built-in variables for a specified GTM container workspace. This is useful for users who want to programmatically access and manage GTM built-in variables, such as for auditing, reporting, or automation purposes.

Use Case Examples

  1. A marketing analyst wants to list all enabled built-in variables in a specific GTM container workspace to review which variables are currently active.
  2. A developer automates the process of syncing GTM built-in variables across multiple containers by listing and then applying changes programmatically.

Properties

Name Meaning
Account ID The GTM Account ID to specify which account's container to access.
Container ID The GTM Container ID within the specified account to list built-in variables from.
Workspace ID The GTM Workspace ID within the container to list built-in variables from.
Optional Query Parameters Additional optional parameters to filter or modify the request, such as specifying the type of built-in variable to list.

Output

JSON

  • variableId - The ID of the built-in variable.
  • name - The name of the built-in variable.
  • type - The type/category of the built-in variable.
  • parameter - Parameters associated with the built-in variable.

Dependencies

  • Google Tag Manager API OAuth2 credentials

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure that the GTM Account ID, Container ID, and Workspace ID are correctly provided; missing any of these will cause errors.
  • Verify that the OAuth2 credentials for Google Tag Manager API are correctly set up and authorized.
  • If the API returns an error, check the error message for missing or invalid parameters and correct them accordingly.
