Detailed description of the listing object
What to do if the list of recommendations is formed by a third-party system?
There are services that generate a list of recommendations on their side. After loading the page of your site, the service integrates the generated list into the code of your site. However, for the user, the integration list is loaded a little later than the main content of the page.
In this case, the connected system itself tracks impressions and clicks of the product blocks. To send information about impressions and clicks to Google Analytics, you need the third-party system to push events to the digitalData.events array. To correctly track events in Google Analytics send the third-party system developer guide link to the manager of the connected system.
