Sending data from mobile app GTM to Server Side GTM doesn't work


I want to send data from Google Tag Manager for mobile apps to Server Side GTM (SGTM). I found that it is possible to do it in docs - https://developers.google.com/tag-platform/tag-manager/server-side/send-data#mobile_apps. Basically I have done everything that is mentioned in docs, but nothing works for me.

Firebase SDK is implemented and custom events are being tracked.

Reproduction:

Problem:
I don't see any requests in SGTM.

Things I have tried to solved it:

It is narrowing the problem to mobile app google tag manager and especially custom image tag. Does this tag work? Isn't there needed further implementation within mobile app in order to start this Custom tag?


Solution

  • SGTM supports only http header with special value. Therefore it is not possible to see events in preview mode from mobile app (at least I don't know how).

    Solution: Check BigQuery logs in the same project as SGTM deployed.
