How to check that Eskimi Pixel is Implemented: Monitoring extension for Google Chrome
Instructions:
You can find extension in the attached files to that article (top left corner)
CHECK THIS VIDEO WHICH DESCRIBES THE WHOLE PROCESS OF EXTENSIONS IMPLEMENTATION AND USAGE
- Goto this URL: chrome://extensions/ and turn on Developer Mode (top right corner button)
- Unpack the ZIP, and in the Extensions Page, click on the “Load Unpacked” and select the folder where the extension zip was unpacked.
- Once that is done, the extension will be added to the browser.
- Open Chrome Dev tools ( Inspect Section ), and look for the “EskimiSE-GA” tab
- And browse ! Panel will automatically detect pixel events.
What does this browser extension do ?
- It monitors if the base pixel is implemented and shows base pixel ID
- It monitors if Eskimi session is being called and shows session ID
- Monitors for conversion events, audience events, custom conversion events
- Monitors GA and GA4 calls(sessions/events/etc)
Why&when to use?
- Check when GA/GA4/Eskimi calls(sessions/events) are made (chronological order)
- Check if Cookies consent “Approve/disapprove” impacts GA/Eskimi calls
- Check which GA/GA4 account ID is used in website and check with report you got from client
Tips/notes:
- Use it only with one tab and do not load other pages in background. It might records all calls, from any
tab (will improve this part later).tab. - For “chronological order” use new tab/session to track instead a refresh. When doing refresh, GA4 always fires first (prob to track pageview).
- You can enable extension to work in Incognito. Go to Extentions and next to Eskimi there is “Details” and enable there “Allow in Incognito”.
