Amplitude Tag for GTM-SS v0.2.0

Announcements New releases
1

We are pleased to announce the release of Amplitude Tag for GTM-SS v0.2.0.

This release introduces new features in the Tag configuration (big thanks @laziob for the suggestions).

More specifically, the Tag now automatically sets the Amplitude Session ID, that allows you to associate events in Amplitude, using information from the Snowplow client_session context.

In addition, it can now be configured to automatically map the Snowplow mkt fields to Amplitude’s standard UTM parameters. Similarly, you can now select if the event time for the Amplitude event will be set and how (e.g. from a Snowplow timestamp event property).

The Snowplow Event Context Rules configuration section has slightly changed in order to allow you to:

  • Also exclude an entity as a way to enhance controlling the mapping of the Snowplow events’ context entities in the event_properties or user_properties of the Amplitude event.
  • Specify whether the configured mapping applies to all versions of the entity.

This release also introduces a Logs Settings configuration section that allows you to control the logging behaviour of the Amplitude Tag, following the standardized logging format proposed by Stape.

Finally, you can now select to use the Amplitude’s EU Residency Server as the HTTP API endpoint.

UPGRADING

The Amplitude HTTP API V2 GTM Server-side Tag is published in the GTM Gallery, and the option to update should become automatically available in your GTM SS instance. The GTM-SS updates UI allows you to review the changes, so you mostly need to ensure that the Snowplow Event Context Rules are correctly mapped to the new configuration sections.
