Learn all about Data Layer

It’s not hyperbole to say that the Data Layer is what makes GTM tick. Data Layer is a JavaScript array that feeds data into Google Tag Manager. This is just a small part of the overall picture.

In this course, you’ll learn about the multiple faces of the Data Layer. You’ll understand how the Array is actually just a message bus, feeding messages to Google Tag Manager’s internal data model. You’ll learn how Google Tag Manager introduces an imitation of “state” How to use the browser to your advantage when sending data to and from websites

If you want to get the most out of the tool, it is crucial to understand the interactions between the website, the Data Layer and Google Tag Manager.

Simo’s class is the most exciting, actionable, rich, detailed, class I have ever taken. This class alone is well worth the annual admission fee to the Institute.  OMG. Thank you for sharing this with the world!

Lesson 2
Event Tracking under the Hood

In the first lesson, we’ll start with Google Tag Manager’s event tracking model. You’ll learn about GTM’s data model, how the dataLayer interacts with GTM’s complex data structures, and how automatic event tracking makes use of these interactions to help you track user activity on the website.
