add_to_cart event GA4

Has anyone successfully added an add_to_cart event for GA4 in xcart v.4.7.# using gtag?
I have the purchase event set up and working fine. Here is my current code...

Code:

{if $main eq "order_message" and $orders}

  <!-- Google Analytics 4-->

  <script>

    gtag('event', 'purchase');



    {foreach $orders as $order}

      gtag(

        'event',

        'purchase',

        {csi_get_gtag_ecommerce_data event="purchase" order=$order.order products=$order.products}

      );

    {/foreach}

  </script>

  <!-- End Google Analytics 4 -->

  {/if}

Yes. You can't do it through the tpl files as the purchase event as the add to cart goes through an ajax call so it has to be done with the ajax callback and the add to cart js file. Same goes for some other events at checkout - add payment, add shipping, begin checkout...

Which file was this used in for the purchase event?
