OUTPUT

true

GTM Configuration

This is what you'll see when you open this variable in Google Tag Manager. Hover the icons for details.

isNotObject

Read-Only Try Live

Value To Check

💾 The value to check.

Supported formats:
  ✓ All

Input Setup

Input Function (optional)

⚙️ Optional pre-processing function applied to the input before internal logic (e.g., convert object to string, normalize case). Internal transformations such as case handling will still apply afterward.

Result Handling

Output Function (optional)

⚙️ Optional function to apply to the result before returning it (e.g., str => str + ' €', val => val !== undefined for boolean conversion). Useful for chaining transformations on the output.

Value To Check object

💡 Type any text to see the result update live

🎯 Using special value — click input to type instead

Test with:

Falsy undefined null "" empty 0 false NaN

Truthy true 42 "hello" {} empty [] empty {a:1} [1,2,3]

🔗 Result Handling — Chain Variables

Chain apply-mode variables to the output. Each variable receives the result of the previous one.
