This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to install Google Tag Manager container code in Kartra pages.

Important: The HEAD section in Kartra pages accepts JavaScript only. HTML must be removed from any tracking code entered in the HEAD section.

Install the tracking code in a Kartra page

To install the Google Tag Manager, open a page in your Kartra account:

  1. Click Settings in the left side menu
  2. Click Tracking Codes
    Tracking Code button under settings in Kartra
  3. Go back to Tag Manager and copy the first snippet for the <head> section
  4. In Kartra, paste the snippet in the Embed tracking code into the <head> field
    • IMPORTANT: This field does not accept HTML code. To use the GTM code snippet in a Kartra page, you must remove the HTML <script></script> tags AND the HTML comments <!-- --> at the beginning and end of the code. Replace the HTML comments with JavaScript comments.

      JavaScript comments:
      /* Google Tag Manager */
      /* End Google Tag Manager */

      Your modified code should look something like this:
      Modified code snippetEmbed tracking code snippet
  5. Go back to Tag Manager and copy the second snippet for the <body> section
  6. In Kartra, paste the snippet in the Embed tracking code into the <body> field
    • IMPORTANT: The body field accepts both HTML and JavaScript. Do NOT modify the body snippet.
      Embed tracking code into the <body>
  7. Click Apply
  8. Click Actions > Publish live in the top right menu to publish the page so Google can detect the new code

Repeat this process for all pages you want to track with the Google Tag Manager.
