Trigger Events on Your Website:

Each time an event is tracked, the event count in the Tag Explorer extension will update accordingly, as shown in the screenshot.

Monitor Events:

To verify whether a specific event is being tracked, use the search bar in the Tag Explorer extension. Type the event name using the en= keyword. For example:

• To check for a page view event, search for: en=page_view

• Search event, search for: en=search

• Add to cart event, search for: en=add_to_cart

• Begin checkout event, search for: en=begin_checkout

• View item event, search for: en=view_item

• Add payment info event, search for: en=add_payment_info

• Purchase event, search for: en=purchase

This will help you confirm whether each event has been properly triggered and sent to GA4.
