You will need the Measurement ID when setting up the GA4 configuration tag in Google Tag Manager.
Open Google Tag Manager. Click on Create New Tag, then Tag Configuration and select Google Analytics: GA4 Configuration as the tag type.
Click on the variable icon and, select Create New Variable. Select constant variable from utilities, paste the measurement ID that you copied earlier into the Value field, then click Save.

This should activate the trigger on all pages. Now you can publish your container, so it pushes your new tag live. Once it is live, you can see live hits by checking your GA4 real-time report.
