📖 Usage Examples

📊 Page Tracking

const { eventGTM } = useGTM();
const { pathname } = useLocation();

useEffect(() => {
  eventGTM("page_view", { pathname });
}, [pathname]);

const { eventGTM } = useGTM();

const saveCustomerInfo = (customer) => {
  eventGTM("customer_info", {
    customerId: customer.customerId,
    customerRegion: customer.customerRegion,
  });
};

return <button onClick={saveCustomerInfo}>Submit</button>;

🛠 Custom Data Layer Name

const { runGTM } = useGTM();

useEffect(() => {
  runGTM({

const { runGTM } = useGTM();

useEffect(() => {
