How it works
Explainer: Google Tag Manager on a client
A client’s Tracking tab holds one Google Tag Manager container: its public ID, which starts with GTM-, and the account and container IDs from Google Tag Manager.
- GTM Container ID is the container’s public ID, such as GTM-ABC1234.
- Account ID and Container ID are the numbers in the container’s address: tagmanager.google.com/#/container/accounts/ACCOUNT_ID/containers/CONTAINER_ID.
- Container Name (optional) is a label for your team, such as the site’s domain.
- Once saved, the tab shows the ID, the container’s path and the date it was connected, with Edit and a bin to remove it.
- Each client holds one container. Saving a different one replaces it.
