Limitations

While CAA is a powerful tool, here are some current limitations to keep in mind:

  • 🌍 Consistent Web Container URLs: The Web Containers URLs must remain the same across all pages for the plugin to function correctly.

  • SPA Compatibility: On Single Page Applications (SPA), the list of triggered tags is only filled on the first "custom event" hit collected by the plugin. On each page change, the tags are added to the list*. The Data Layer is updated on each new "page load" *This behavior will be improved in an upcoming update, so stay tuned!

Future Enhancements of our extension

CAA is continuously evolving, with new features and improvements planned to further enhance your testing experience. Keep an eye out for future updates that will make debugging and optimization even easier!

Coming soon

  • Replace containers versions directly from the drop down (in the plugin)

  • Improved SPA website management (for custom events "page load")
