Google Tag Manager uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Google Tag Manager account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Google Tag Manager and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Google Tag Manager API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
