Before you begin: requirements

 

In order to set up web tracking, your VTEX store must be associated with a Google Tag Manager account. If your store already has an associated GTM account, you can continue with STEP 1. Otherwise, perform the following steps.

  1. Log in to your GTM account and copy your Google Tag Manager container ID from the account listing

All Connectif tags, triggers and variables are prefixed with the word Connectif. This should ensure that importing it with the (Merge) option and overwriting conflicting items does not cause any loss of existing items.
We recommend the overwriting option, in order to update the GTM with any future versions of the file.

  1. Confirm and publish new changes to make them effective and have the settings saved.

  1. Browse your store.
  2. Go to your Connectif account, enter "Contactos > Ver todos" and access the details of the last contacts created.
  3. Verify that new contacts have been created with visited webpage activities.
