Tag Assistant Companion

You Google are just trying too hard to be cool but is increedible garbage your tutorials.

I don't know why it exists. it doesn't work. useless!!!

spent an hour debugging wondering why my tag didn't work even though i installed everything correctly. Turns out that the tag assistant was buggy and the tags were actually working (*⌒∇⌒*)

Doesn't work. Google is asleep at the wheel.

Not working for all Websites (at least since the last website only shows the first view of a debugging container -> had to deactivate the whole extension since debugmode from tagmanager was no longer working if it is activated). We all miss the good old Tag Assistant which really delivered good quick info about the tracking setup. Now we only can launch the big gun and dive directly into the debugging process itself which is a pity. Google please fix this and stop deprecating good useful tools/features.

If there was a 0 option I would give it to them. Complete rubbish and mess with my system. Google at its best!!!

Since an update, there have been recurring issues. When I debug pages in GTM and the extension is installed, after reloading the page, a connection to Tag Assistant can no longer be established.

So Google have retired the Tag Assistant that worked perfectly well and replaced with a link to your Tag Manager account. Yet another useful tool ripped out of our hands. There won't be much left to analyse anything soon.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with the old tag assistant extension which simply worked. This one is extremely glitchy, unreliable and undocumented.

I've noticed that the "Tag Assistant cannot connect" and "Google Tag not found" issues often occur when there's a mismatch between the Chrome user account and the Google account used with Tag Assistant. After troubleshooting for about 4 hours, I found that logging into Chrome with the Google account associated with GTM resolved the issue. While it's not yet clear whether the root cause lies with Chrome or Tag Assistant, further investigation is needed to determine the underlying problem.

This is just a glorified bookmark, taking you to https://tagassistant.google.com/

Haven't been able to connect to any client sites using Tag Assistant for about 2 weeks. Google refused to help me and told me to go find YouTube tutorials, as though I simply didn't understand how to use it. Finally, I disabled this extension and Tag Assistant is connecting again!! I've lost 10-20 hours troubleshooting and it was just this extension. I'm using MacBook Pro latest version and Chrome latest version. Chrome is also constantly crashing lately...

Update: The issue might be specific to Chrome on Windows, as the tool was able to detect the tag installation on Chrome on MacOS. When I tested it, the data layers were also fired up correctly. I will update the star rating when this issue is fixed. I hope this helps the developers and other users facing non-detection issues. Thanks. This doesn't work at all. I have tried installing Google Tags manually and using a plugin. When I view the site's source code, I can see the tag properly installed, but the tool doesn't detect it at all. I tried all the possible solutions provided in their documentation to no avail, and there's no easy way to contact support, just like with all other Google products.

Terrible

It's complete trash just like every other Google product that is eternally in a BETA state. Every dollar spent with Google Ads should be refunded. We pay them boatloads of money and we have to do the work, while our business fails. I have been on numerous calls with our account rep and nothing ever improves. GA4 is a joke as well and everything broke as soon as we switched over last summer. Their support cannot fix anything. They just send endless worthless links full of more endless worthless links for us to spend 10 hours reading while they continue to collect money. Their whole company is a SCAM, especially CPC. Of course, large companies can afford to pay 3rd parties who spend their entire lives learning Google's unreliable system. Small businesses can't afford that, so we are just sucked dry while the larger retailers thrive.

It is more difficult to operate. Better using the old extension

Doesn't work

Only Google could come up with a pixel helper this convoluted and confusing to use

Doesn't work.

Connecting intermittently and cannot find my Google Analytics tag. Absolute nightmare so far so I hope this is fixed soon.

Not intuitive. Can't figure out how to get it to connect.

nightmare connecting Begin Checkout!!!. Why cant it be made simple!!!

Google keep changing for worst. Make it simple for the user please.

The new era of Google, everything that works well, they break it

Previous (old version) was much much better

Not really intuitive at all. This plugin will take you to the Tag Manager website and you will need to have access to the container - All I want to know is if I have a working GA and GTM trackers in the website, why do you have to make it complicated? The Legacy is better than this!

Previous (old version) was much much better, you can easily use it onsite, and check all events and tags what is on the website, and track them on every step. Now it's completely not user friendly and takes much more time, and not working as it should be... Nightmare... I'm wondering how the multi-billion company launching new product live, without taking customers reviews in consideration.

Just found out the solution of the issue of GTM Preview mode's window which is :- "Could not connect to ... A timeout occurred while attempting to connect to https://..." Solution - Turn of the Chrome Extension "Tiktok Pixel Helper" Spent hours to figure out what it could be (Turned out to be a small foolish Glitch) Also check other extensions if you still face the issue. Users experienced the same issue and found this to be useful. Giving it 1* because Google should have made some adjustment or should have intimated about the issue. Wasted many hours just to find out a small glitch.

Totally useless app!!! It's a joke. It connects to the website properly, then, it display a message saying that the connection was not possible :-))).

The tool has not been working for more than a week, I can’t understand what the problem is, the support is not responding, there is no information on the forums, it’s as if no one uses this tool except me

Could have sworn this used to be more functional than just linking to https://tagassistant.google.com/

useless

Not serving its purpose. Tried it and it is still not responding to the desired needs.

This extension is trash. Bring back the previous one!!!!

why google introduce this so that people will start using gtm with this tool. last one was usefull.

This is useless

This isn't an extensions, it's a redirect to the tag manager preview. This is useless. The previous one was much better

This extension has no functionality of its own, it only redirects to the Tag Manager preview solution. The functionality of the old Tag Assistant extension where you could easily see the tags active on the page is completely lost.

Doesn't do anything except redirect to a website.

If i could give zero stars i would ! legacy worked so well, only one click to check if the pixel was installed which is what i need it for - Please go back to the old version. Don't know why google constantly makes their products worse and worse

Way way worst compared to the old one. Instead of 1 click to check if the pixel is present and working you need to state the correct page, wait to be redirected to a new page and jump back and forth to check what is happening. Perfect example on how to NOT do things

Doesn't work at all. Trash.

It doesn't work, and hsan't for a long time. I always get the message "A timeout occurred while attempting to connect to" on the GTM side, and "Tag Assistant Not Connected Could not connect to Tag Assistant" on my web page. Not sure what value it adds, but it's more a headache than anything else.

No quick overview on tags used on site like the old Tag Assistant. Just links to Tag Manager. Useless.

Doesn't connect with the webpage. I gotta use the old extension.

It simply doesn't work. Why deprecate the other one with this is clearly not ready and is still in beta.

This extension just opens the Tag Assistant Page. Useless

It simply doesn't work. Sometimes it does, other times it doesn't. There's no logic to this when and why it works but then other times doesn't. Literally in a clean Chrome install with only this extension installed and it doesn't work.

It does not work or allow you to connect to the web.

Just brings you to Tag Manager? Useless addition
