Bear with me, I am not a developer, so forgive the entry-level post.
My company has used Google Cloud automatically provisioned tagging servers to set up server-side tagging for Google Analytics 4.
Until recently, the process involved:
- Create a server-container in Google Tag Manager.
- Create an automatically provisioned tagging server.
- Going directly to "App Enginge" -> "Setting" and configuring a custom subdomain for the tagging server.
But now, when I create an automatically provisioned tagging server, I cannot go directly to "App Enginge" -> "Settings, Google Cloud asks me to create create an application. And I have no idea how to proceed.
I tried talking to ChatGPT, which informed me that "Google recently deprecated the automatically provisioned tagging servers" - and that's all the information I have been able to find.
I have tried creating an application (Choosing a geographical region and selecting "App engine default service account". Which does indeed create an application, leading me to a setup which looks like what i'm used to. But the end result doesn't work, when I configure my subdomain and finish the Tag Manager setup. So I must be doing something wrong.
Based on the above, can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I hope someone can guide me.
