The Google Tag Manager (GTM) is one of the most popular Tag Management systems on the internet and is used to manage Javascript and HTML tag, primarily for the purposes of tracking or collecting analytics for a website.
Google Tag Manager can be used by clients as a way of implementing UGC Widgets and Direct Uploader Forms in Content Management Systems' (CMS) that limit users from injecting Javascript.
Detailed below are the step by step ways in which GTM can be used on your website.
Leveraging Google Tag Manager (GTM) can be an effective way for brands to deploy Visual UGC Widgets across their digital properties, especially in Content Management Systems' (CMS) that limit users from injecting Javascript.
Outlined in this guide are the steps which can be taken to add the Javascript component of the Widget Embed code to your GTM container.
The Visual UGC Widget Embed code can be broken into two components, the first component (included below) is the DIV container which defines where the Visual UGC Widget should be rendered on a webpage, as well includes the various parameters which defines what Widget and what Content is loaded.
The second component is the Widget Javascript. This is the part of the Embed code which is consistent for every Widgets and can be added to your GTM container.
The first step in the setup is to define our Trigger(s). Triggers are used by GTM to define when Tags are run.
To create a Trigger, select Triggers from the GTM menu and create a New Trigger. Next we name the Trigger and select Page View from the Trigger Configuration options.
From here we can define when we want to make the Widget Javascript available on a page.
If you plan on having a Visual UGC Widget on all Pages, you should pick All Page Views for when the trigger fires, otherwise you should define what Page(s) the Javascript loads.
Final step in the process is to define our Tag. Tags is where we will store the Widget Javascript we identified earlier.
To create a Tag, select Tags from the GTM menu and create a New Tag.
We can now give it a name, and select Custom HTML from the Tag Configuration options.
From here we can add the Widget Javascript.
Final step is associating the Tag with the Trigger we created before.
Once created and Saved you can then Publish.
