To review your variables in Google Tag Manager with Claude or ChatGPT, connect your Google Tag Manager account to PaidSync.ai and ask the assistant to list the variables in my workspace, which shows the values your tags and triggers can read. It reads only.

Which Tools Do the Work

Variables hold the values tags need, such as a page path or a data layer field. Two read tools list them:

list_gtm_variables and list_gtm_builtin_variables only read your account. That is the full set you need to review your variables.

How the Workflow Is Built

ToolWhat it does
list_gtm_variablesLists your variables
list_gtm_builtin_variablesLists built in variables

A trigger on form IDs needs the form variables switched on. If a trigger misbehaves, this list is a good place to look first.

How to Review Your Variables in Google Tag Manager With Claude in 5 Steps

These steps use Claude to review your variables. PaidSync.ai also works in ChatGPT, and the prompts are the same.

1

Connect Google Tag Manager to PaidSync.ai

Sign up at paidsync.ai, then connect Google Tag Manager on Google's own sign-in screen. There is no API key to paste and no config file to edit. Use the Google login that has access to the container where you want to review your variables.

2

Add PaidSync.ai to Claude

Open Claude's connector directory, add PaidSync.ai and sign in. Ask "list my Google Tag Manager containers", then pick the one where you will review your variables.

3

List your variables

Ask for the user defined variables.

4

List the built in ones

Ask which built in variables are enabled.

5

Compare with your needs

Note any variable your planned trigger will need.

How to Check the Result

Each variable you rely on should be in one of the two lists.

Use these two prompts to review your variables, in this order.

"List the user defined variables in my workspace with their type."
Reads your account and changes nothing.
"Which built in variables are enabled in my workspace?"
Reads your account and changes nothing.
