It's been a while since my last post ( Shame on me!) , but the new Custom Templates feature has been a great addition to Google Tag Manager the last week.

If you don't know what the Custom Templates are, please do yourself a favor and read Simo Ahava's great guide on them.

I've been playing the last days with this new feature, trying to build a more complex template, so I decided to try to implement a full Yandex Metrica Custom Template for Google Tag Manager.

What's supported:

Method ( track types )

• Init
• Outbound links ( Fields: URL )
• File Downloads ( Fields: URL , Referrer )
• Reach Goals ( Fields: Target, Order Price, Currency )
• Hit ( Fields: URL, Referrer, Title )
• User Id ( Fields: User Id )
• Session Pameters ( Fields : Parameters Map )
• User Parameters ( Fields : Parameters Map )
• Not Bounces
  

Tracking features supported on the tracker:

• Enabling/Disabling default Data Sending ( default pageview, useful for SPA Sites )
• Enabling Hash Tracking
• Disabling sending pages to Yandex Index
• Loading the Script library from the alternative CDN
• Enabling/Disabling Accurate Track Bounce tracking
• Enabling/Disabling Click Maps tracking
• Enabling/Disabling Track Links ( including extensions personalization)
• Enabling/Disabling Webvisor
• Enabling Disabling the Debugging Cookie
• Ecommerce Tracking ( data layer variable name can be personalized )

I've included some advanced features ( I'm new to Yandex Metrica, so I had no time to properly test them yet )

• Debug Mode can be enabled from Init Tag without the need of setting up a QueryString parameter

Upcoming features

• Callbacks support
• Code improvements/comments

You can get the template from the following URL: https://github.com/thyngster/gtmtemplates/tree/master/Yandex%20Metrica
