angulartics2 custom events are sent to facebook but not to google analytics

I use angulartics2 with an angular7 project to fire events to facebook and google analytics.



I have facebook and google analytics configured using google tag manager.



the problem is my custom events are fired and sent to facebook but not to google analytics.



below the <head> tag I have the google tag manager code.



in the main component typescript file I added the following code:



constructor(
private angulartics2GoogleTagManager: Angulartics2GoogleTagManager,
private angulartics2Facebook: Angulartics2Facebook,
private angulartics2GoogleAnalytics: Angulartics2GoogleAnalytics
) {
this.angulartics2Facebook.startTracking();
this.angulartics2GoogleTagManager.startTracking();
this.angulartics2GoogleAnalytics.startTracking();
...


for example when people add items to cart I want to fire an event about it.



so in my cart service I inject angulartics2 in the constructor:



 constructor(@Inject(LOCAL_STORAGE) private storage: StorageService,
private angulartics2: Angulartics2
)


and then where it's relevant I fire the event with the following code:



    this.angulartics2.eventTrack.next({action: 'addToCart', properties: {category: 'Cart', label: keyName, value: quantity}});


using facebook pixel chrome extension I can see that the custom event is detected, using google events chrome extension I can see that no event is detected.



what am I missing? what I didn't configure properly?



google analytics is configured properly in google tag manager, I do see users count and page views count properly.



any information regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated.



thanks



update



some more investigation information thanks to @XTOTHEL.



so in the app.component.ts constructor I only enabled google tag manager to start tracking.



unfortunately google tag manager is not detecting any events being fired.



attached a screenshot of google tag manager console after adding stuff to the cart and the angulartics2 code of adding addToCart custom event being fired.

  • If you've setup your tags within GTM, I don't think you would only need to use angulartics2GoogleTagmanager.startTracking(); and not the rest. Can you show a screen capture of the tags within GTM for FB and GA and the triggers associated with each?
