Hi @mgensollen Just some background on product level events: So the for PRODUCTS_eventX, they are normally used for Numeric/Currency Events, on the products string. Numeric and currency events must be included in the s.events variable, though they typically receive their numerical value (e.g., 24.99) in the s.products variable. This allows you to tie specific numeric and currency values to individual product entries https://marketing.adobe.com/resources/help/en_US/sc/implement/events.html If there is data for the mapped data point, then it will always be added. To note on that, if it is just a string/number, that will be applied to all products equally. If you want different events for products you need to map an array with the data points for each item, in order that they are in the other E-Commerce arrays. These will be sent every time the s.products string is sent, nothing to do with the purchase event, you can set in the event's string. Adrian ... View more

Hi @ayuan What I have done with Web Extensions is to use the collect endpoint to send to UDH then map to GA. That is the lighter weight, and possibly most viable cross-platform option. Adrian ... View more

Good morning @zhaque   That seems to be something the Target tag is doing. We aren't doing any encoding when we pass it through. Could you provide some information around Target Enterprise Workspace, and what validation it is you require? This has been solved in the version currently in QA Adrian ... View more

Hi @pmeyerdk   With regards to the flicker, you are seeing I will reach out to @nathan_fleming and see if I can lend any assistance.   Adrian ... View more

@bjoern_koth   I will try to endeavour to update this thread when the update has been released for the beta tag.   This new Beta version has better handling when used in conjunction with load rules. Though with the current version a timing was found with regards to the logic that checks the load rule conditions. This update is again in the updated beta.   Adrian ... View more

@pmeyerdk   So if you delete the extension, then no code will be added into the utag.sync.js file. In the beta update going through QA this will also now set Adobe target to non-body hiding mode.   If you remove the tag, then nothing with regards to Target will get published out.   If you disable either/or then it will be like they weren't there.   Adrian ...

Hi @jnnk,   This look like it is an oversight of not coping with multiple view events on the same page. I would suggest you raise a support request, so a ticket can be opened to get this fixed.   https://community.tealiumiq.com/t5/custom/page/page-id/support-contact-form   Adrian ... View more

HI @bjoern_koth   So the utag.sync.js file is populated by the Target extension, with code that hides the body and the defined mboxes. This bit of code, adds a style tag to the dom with the hiding CSS.   The beauty of having just this in the sync file and then the rest loaded async is that there is no flicker.    You are correct this means the tag template gets added to the utag.js file, so there is no additional step of requesting the file from the CDN. By default, utag.js should only be loaded async. With this setup, we are hiding the body ASAP with the sync file, then allowing the Marketing Cloud / Target tags to fire as soon as they are able to. Thanks to the Beta users we have found some items that needed to be fixed, in scenarios we hadn't thought of. These have now been addressed, and we are waiting for QA to complete their testing. I would imagine the updated beta to be released in Jan, with the full release happening a couple of weeks after, as long as no additional issues are identified.   Adrian ... View more

@bjoern_koth   We have done something different for the 3 main Adobe tags, we have allowed them to effectively talk to each other. So what happens is the following:   utag.sync.js  - Loads the hiding code required for Target   utag.js (Tags need to be in this order)  - Marketing Cloud (Will automatically bundle, and turn wait off)  - Target (Will automatically bundle, and turn wait off)  - Analytics   When Marketing Cloud loads it creates a lightweight publish/subscribe method. When the other 2 tags load/run they hook onto this so that they will carry out their main work once the visitor service has returned.  If the Marketing Cloud tag is not present, then Target/Analytics both have a stubbed version of this, and will execute immediately.   This methodology only works currently on the Beta Target tag which is indeed async. The 2 in the tag marketplace don't have this logic in place, as these will be deprecated once the beta version is fully released.   Adrian   ... View more

@pmeyerdk   From the exposure, I have had working on the latest Beta release of Target tag, and working with Adobe consultants. I would be surprised if you could get this scenario working smoothly. As the picture and document shows, the Visitor API needs to run first, before the Target code. This you will see, will send out a DMDEX request. This will then return and for both Target and Analytics, you will get a visitor ID to use. On the Target request, you will see the mid parameter, this is the visitor ID returned by DMDEX.    You might be able to call the Visitor service after manually call Target track method. This might be enough to stitch the mid to the request. Would have to test this though.   With the latest release of the Adobe Marketing Cloud ID Service and Adobe Analytics they have a communication method built into them, so if the Analytics tag is loaded second, after the Adobe Marketing Cloud ID Service tag, it will wait until it has returned before firing.   Hope this helps,    Adrian   ...

Hi @_az   This synchronous option is for when the utag.js file is loaded synchronously on a page. It is legacy functionality now, as we always recommend async loading of the utag.js file. More information on this option can be found here https://community.tealiumiq.com/t5/iQ-Tag-Management/Tag-Configuration-Advanced-Settings/ta-p/13600#toc-hId--1398144902.   This is, however, a good idea and it would be worth emailing it to ideas@tealium.com.   Adrian ...

@hk   So the 2 resources I will point you towards are:   Tealium API Getting Started Guide - https://community.tealiumiq.com/t5/Tealium-API/Getting-Started/ta-p/14357 Hosted Data Layer API Guide - https://community.tealiumiq.com/t5/Tealium-API/Hosted-Data-Layer-API/ta-p/14619   If you have any questions after reading those, don't hesitate to let me know, and I will try and answer any questions you have.   Adrian ...

Hi @steve_crawford   What you are seeing is an update that occurred, based on the results of a security audit. The "openness" of the cookie could potentially allow for Cross Site Scripting attacks to be done, against the site. It would effectively kill the utag.js file from loading and load a script from another location on the web.   I am currently in the process of upgrading the Environment Switch Tealium tool to cope with self-hosted utag.js files. In the meantime, I would suggest using tool like Charles Proxy or Fiddler to redirect the request.   If you really want to use the old logic, add this to a pre-loader, this must be the first JS extension.     var utag_condload = false; try { var account = "", profile = "", env = "prod"; (function () { function ul(src, a, b) { a = document; b = a.createElement('script'); b.language = 'javascript'; b.type = 'text/javascript'; b.src = src; a.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(b) } if (("" + document.cookie).match("utag_env_"+account+"_"+profile+"=([^\S;]*)")) { if (RegExp.$1.indexOf("/"+env+"/") === -1) { ul(RegExp.$1); utag_condload = true; __tealium_default_path = '//tags.tiqcdn.com/utag/'+account+'/'+profile+'/'+env+'/'; } } })(); } catch (e) { utag_condload = true; console && console.error && console.error("Error changing utag.js path"); }     Adrian ...

HI @koen_de_keersma   What @AndreScholten suggests is correct, you are trying to assign an array to the mapping, which will not work. Using a Set Data Values Extension as suggested is the best option.     Adrian ... View more

@jan_daniel_herg   Depending on the scope of the extension and when it needs to fire. What you could do is use the Before Load Rule scope for the extension. This will still run the extension even if the noview override is set.   Adrian ... View more

Hi @abhinav432517   So by default, executing a utag.link() will trigger a s.tl call. If you want to explicitly call s.tl, you can, using the namespace you defined in the tag interface.   Using the example above I would need to call,   tealiums.tl();   Hope this helps,   Adrian     ... View more
