Automatically collected firebase events + GTM

[Radu Durican]

Hello,

I would like to know whether it's possible to send the automatically tracked events by Firebase to the TagManager. 

I've successfully passed custom events using FirebaseAnalytics and TagManager ( using FirebaseAnalytics SDK => tagManager => GoogleAnalytics ).

My question is whether I could do the same with the automated collected events, because at the moment, the triggers in GTM are not activated by them. These are the ones I'm referring to : https://support.google.com/firebase/answer/6317485?hl=en

Thank you in advance,

Radu Durican

Hi Radu,

Some automatically collected events are in scope for processing in GTM (in fact, all of them should be technically available on iOS).  But certainly, some key events like first_open, in_app_purchase and app_remove are not available on Android.

It would be helpful to know which one(s) you're most interested in using.

Hi Steve,

So this is a screenshot of the Firebase Analytics - Events dashboard for the Android app.

There's a mixture between our custom events and the automatically collected events. I can see the automatically collected events there : app_clear_data, app_remove, first_open, app_update. 

Using the GTM we were successful in forwarding our custom tracked events by creating tags with the trigger names being our custom event's name, e.g begin_checkout. ecommerce_purchase. 

So my question was whether we can also hook the automatically tracked events as well. We also created tags and triggers for them, but they don't pass to GA. I can, however, that the screen_view (automatically tracked event) does show up in GA, by creating a TAG with track type Screen View and trigger screen_view. 

Would be nice to have first_open, app_remove, app_update as well; I find it curious that the Firebase SDK tracks them and they do show up as events but we're not successful in catching them with GTM.

Thanks in advance !

This thread is quote old, but in case anyone new reading wants to know a very well hidden reference to this is here - https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/7035192?hl=en  At the bottom it states which events are available and which are not within each OS.

Cheers
