  2. Add your new rules to a library.
  3. Build the library to your dev environment.

Validate in DevTools

With your dev build deployed:
  1. Open your site and DevTools Network tab.
  2. Look for zeotap.min.js — expect status 200.
  3. In the Console tab, type zeotap and press Enter. Expect: 
    {_q: Array(0), _qcmp: Array(0)}
    If undefined, the SDK didn’t initialize. Check your Load Zeotap SDK rule fired.
  4. Trigger an event on the site, then watch for POST requests to spl.zeotap.com — expect status 204 (or 200).
  5. Log into the Zeotap CDP, open your Tag Extension Source, and watch the PREVIEW tab for the event.
