-
Sync to GTMSync this schema into GTM container GTM-ABCDEF as tags + triggers + variables.✓ Kopiert→ Workspace changes reported
-
Preview and verifyOpen Preview on staging.example.com and verify each event fires.✓ Kopiert→ Per-event fire/miss report
-
PublishPublish version with notes 'initial GA4 setup'.✓ Kopiert→ Live version ID returned

Fallstricke
- Events fire but don't appear in GA4 for 24h — Use DebugView in GA4 for real-time verification while testing
- GTM workspace conflicts with manual edits — Create a dedicated workspace for the skill's changes to avoid stepping on someone else
