TagGuard - Google Tag Manager Trigger - The smoke alarm for your marketing tags

by•
A dev pushes code, your GTM tag vanishes, and you silently burn thousands in ad spend. Sound familiar? TagGuard is the automated guardrail for your marketing stack. It monitors your tags 24/7, sends Slack alerts, and blocks bad deployments before they happen.

Hey, Shivank here, the vibe coder of TagGuard. I've built this out of pure necessity. A friend's company was spending over $1M on ads and couldn't figure out why their CPA had jumped 51%. The nightmare culprit? A developer had accidentally removed their GTM script, and for 25 days, they were lighting money on fire. Manual checks are a joke. By the time you find the problem, the damage is done. TagGuard is the simple fix. Monitor: It watches your key pages 24/7 for GTM, Meta Pixel, Analytics—any script you need. Alert: The moment a tag breaks, it notifies you via Slack or email. Prevent: This is the magic. It plugs into your CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.) and physically stops a deployment if it's going to break your tracking. It’s the bodyguard for your marketing budget. No more flying blind, no more wasted ad spend. I've made it free so you can test it out and roast it in the comments below for me to use as feedback to improve on things.

Alright, so first off — I’ll give it to you: TagGuard actually does the job. For a marketer like me who doesn’t want to get lost in developer spaghetti, it’s refreshingly simple. Instructions are clear enough that even the most “I only know how to boost posts on Facebook” kind of marketer could follow along. But visuals would go a long way — screenshots, step indicators, anything to make sure I’m not wondering if I’ve clicked myself into a black hole.

Now, about those features you teased. Slack alerts and the magical “CI/CD shield” that blocks bad code before it ships? Not live yet. It’s like buying a Tesla with the promise of autopilot and finding out it only honks when you crash. Still useful, but once those promised features land they would actually make this killer, so hurry up and plug them in.

And one more thing - I can see URLs from other people testing. Do you want me to prank-delete someone’s tags and watch them cry? Privacy and protection could go a long way. Show me my stuff, not everyone’s laundry.

Overall: solid concept, clean start, but still beta vibes. If you want TagGuard to truly be the “bodyguard for my marketing budget,” bulk it up with visuals, those promised features, and some damn privacy, and TagGuard will go from a “nice experiment” to an absolute lifesaver for anyone running serious ad spend.

TagGuard: because your CPA doesn’t need more drama.
