Bear with me, because I'm relatively new to using GA and the people who set it up have either left or don't know how to use it. So there could be a deeper problem...
I'm trying to add an event via GTM, but it doesn't appear in my event list on GA. Everything, so far as I can tell, is set up correctly.
Do events not appear until they've been triggered? The product gets deployed to customers on a set-basis so there'll be a delay before the trigger is in the product
I chose the trigger as Click Classes and just added a class to the button. Is this enough to trigger the event?
Generally, you set up event tags in GTM that fires after a condition (like your Click Class) is triggered. Only after then, the event will get sent to Google Analytics and appear in your Events and Realtime reports.

I want to create event to track form input in my website form. For example someone types in name section, phone sectio or email I want to see that as event in my GA4 account. But I couldn't manage to create triger and event from tag manager. Any tips guys?
I created additional variables threw tag manager. But couldn't create trigger.
GTM's best practices advice not to do so-called DOM scraping. The proper solution here would be you asking your front-end developers to push dataLayer events for which you would be listening from GTM. This way, when things change on the front-end, the developers can effortlessly move the tracking to a new form, or a new field.
In some cases, inferior tracking methods must be used, however. In this case, you would want to deploy a custom HTML, which would be a <script> tag in your DOM deploying event listeners on form field interactions. The callbacks of the listeners would deploy dataLayer events with payloads containing whatever else you need to know about the interactions.
After you deploy the listeners and confirm that the callbacks work as you want, you make custom event triggers, indicating your event names from the dataLayer pushes. You can make dataLayer Variables to declare used datapoints in the DL events and use the new variables in your tags.
I'm playing around with the wearable SDK and created some additional pages for my sample app.
Is there a convenient way to dismiss / delete a single page by e.g. swiping?
I just found calls for adding, but not for removing (even after an action)
As far as I know, this is not possible, because even a multi-page-notification is (from a technical point-of-view) just one single notification which can only disapper in its entirety.
The only possibility I see here is to set a pending intent to a broadcast receiver, figure somehow out on which page the user was when dismissing the notification, and then create a new notification without this page.
I am trying to track a specific submit button click on a form I have on my website using tag manager. I have already:
Set up a form submit listener tag with a rule set to fire on every page.
Set up an analytics event tag, with a rule set to fire when the event equals gtm.formSubmit, AND when the element ID equals submit1 (the ID of the submit button).
However, it doesn't seem to be showing any events tracked in Analytics when I test this out.
Have I implemented this incorrectly?
Thanks.
Have you tested first in Debug mode of Tag Manager? That is the best way to confirm first that the tag fires. Once that works, only then look in Analytics, in Real Time area. If you see it firing in Debug mode but not in Analytics then some filter might be at fault. Once it starts working Publish it in GTM.
There are two important things to notice and remember:-
1) The element ID is the ID of the form and not the submit button.
2) You should also create a new Tag with "Tag Type = Form Submit Listener"

I'm very excited about GTM introducing the Event Listener tag options, and have used them with success on some websites. With several of my company's clients, however, I am having this strange issue.
I can see, using the debugger software that the Link Click Listener tag is firing, and I can see that the Record Event tag is firing. However the Events never show up in Analytics.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance!

Even with the Link Click Listener and the Event Listener firing, you still need to add an additional Google Analytics tag OR Universal Analytics tag to utilize them within GTM. Remember, the only thing the listeners do is create new dataLayers for you to use.
To make events work in Analytics, add a NEW Google Analytics (or UA) tag to GTM.
Select the Track type as 'Event'
Category: Whatever you'd like the category to be (you can use macros here as well)
Action: Whatever the action is, download, click, etc. (macros are helpful here too!)
Label: Whatever you'd like it to be.
The key here is how you setup the rules. Your {{event}} needs to utilize the dataLayer - gtm.click, then you need to specify an element you'd like to track.

I have my fullCalendar functioning well, however, I need to allow the users to remove events from the calendar. I can use the clickEvent method to bring up a confirmation window with a "do you want to remove" message. But this seems kind of clunky. Is there a better UI way of removing events?
Google calendar uses a qTip on click that offers "edit event details" and "delete". At first I didn't like sending users to a different "event details page" but after thinking about this for awhile it is a really good way to go.
It is always safer to ask for a confirm before removing something.
Anyway you can customize the rendering of the event using the eventRender callback
In particular you can:
attach custom markup to render an X image that when clicked will ajax call a delete function
you can attach other jQuery plugins to reproduce exactly the qTip effect
Have a look at the link for more details. Hope it helps
