While setting up your tracking in Google Tag Manager, it is important to validate whether Billy Grace is receiving your events. For this reason, we have created the pixel debugger. It allows you to see the events you are sending in Google Tag Manager debug mode in real-time within Billy Grace.

  1. In our menu, navigate to Management > Pixel > Live Debugger

2. Go to Google Tag Manager container that hosts your tracking

Note: the live debugger only works if you use the Billy Grace tags. You can install these by going to:

2.1 The template gallery

2.2 Search for Billy Grace

2.3 Select the Billy Grace tags

3. After setting up your tracking using these tags, start your container in preview mode.

4. When preview mode in Tag Manager is activated, all hits will be sent to Billy Grace.

5. Navigate to the Pixel Debugger to see the hits coming in.

6. With, for example, purchase events, you are now able to see if the right transaction_id reaches Billy Grace.

Happy debugging!
