GA4 Tag uses different ID – unique event id variable

Hi,

I have a strange problem:

  • I use unique event id from stape (but it could be any other)
  • for the event x the GA4 Tag uses a different event ID in the payload than the variable has generated
  • all other tags use the actual event id which is given by the variable

How is that possible? Is this a GTM glitch?

Example

Here you can see the event id is 1741801750462_174180175581323

but GA4 uses 1741801750462_174180175581351 for some reason
(It does not matter if it is in the GA4 Event settings variable or not)

All other Tags, like pinterest, use the given event id from the variable

Do you by a chance have tag sequencing there?

Yes – Google Tag is a Set up Tag.

I removed it and now it works as expected.

Thanks!
