Google Tag Manager Integration

Add Interakt to your app using Google Tag Manager (also known as GTM). GTM is a tool that lets you add and manage multiple code snippets to track conversions, traffic, and gather other analytical data without changing your code for everything.

GTM offers built-in tag templates for Google Adwords, Analytics, and Crazy Egg, etc. In this example, we'll learn how to integrate GTM to your website and then add Interakt using it's Custom HTML block.
