Hey guys, this is implemented? I couldn’t find it in API docs. Is it planned?

Hey Isan!

This link above works great. Just complementing the solution with a problem I had.

When passing tags trought the JS pixel we need to send them as a string like:

`mt('send', 'pageview',{
                tags:"beautiful"
});`

In this case, putting a minus sign in front of it like this

`mt('send', 'pageview',{
                tags:-"beautiful"
});`

Causes an error. (Same if the string was a variable).

But it works if you send it like this:

`mt('send', 'pageview',{
                tags:"-beautiful"
});`

Hope it helps!
