Answer 1

i think i found a solution, i just added this ('event' : 'datalayerReady') at the end of the data layer:

'event' : 'datalayerReady',
'eventCallback': function() {
  document.location = "https://www.paypal.com/something";
}

Dreadlord,

try using this: (no href after window.location)

'eventCallback': function() {
    window.location.href = 'https://www.paypal.com/something';
}

This should fix it. Hope this helps, Petr

This works well for me.

<script type="text/javascript">
if (typeof dataLayer !== "undefined") {
        dataLayer.push({
            'event': 'MyEvent',
            'eventCallback' : function() {
                window.location = 'http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26802554/gtm-data-layer-eventcallback-function';
            }
        });
    }
</script>

Taken from: http://www.simoahava.com/gtm-tips/use-eventtimeout-eventcallback/

Always add the eventTimeout parameter when using eventCallback. The former takes a numerical value as its parameter, representing the number of milliseconds to wait before calling eventCallback anyway. In other words, even if your Tags stall and never signal completion, after two seconds eventCallback is invoked.

window.dataLayer.push({
  'event' : 'processLink',
  'eventCallback' : function() {
    window.location = targetUrl
  },
  'eventTimeout' : 2000
});
