ActionTag integrates with Google Tag Manager Event tracking to give you a more complete understanding of how supporters are interacting with your forms. This integration is available on all form and page types.

If you use Google Tag Manager, you may enter the property (GTM-XXXXXX) on the Basics step of a form or page. This will load gtag.js, send ActionTag events and let you use the {{GoogleAnalyticsId}} merge field in your themes. Alternately, you can add GTM code directly to a theme. For more on GTM configuration for Google Analytics 4, see Google's documentation.
