Is it possible to add a Google tag?

[jorikfon]

I want to add something like the Yandex Metrika, Facebook Pixel, and live chat as you have on the retype.com
Usually, I use a GTM to do it.

I think you are looking to an integration, right? We don't support "google tags" but we do support adding tags to documents, is this by any chance what you need? Or do you want tags to have specific code to be handled by google services?

This one https://tagmanager.google.com/

I see in the sources of your site it is included.

Just configure your integrations.googleAnalytics.id value. Retype should automatically add the proper TagManager reference to your website.

integrations:
  googleAnalytics:
    id: <your-tag-manager-code-here>

We should probably add googleTagManager as another option. Or as a proposal, we could revise to the following structure:

integrations:
  google:
    analytics: <your-code-here>
    tagManager: <your-code-here>

I did it, but the tag didn't start.

Look...

integrations:
  googleAnalytics:
    id: GTM-KXBHF8J

On every page of my website it adds following code:

  <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=GTM-KXBHF8J"></script>
  <script>window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}gtag('js', new Date());gtag('config', 'GTM-KXBHF8J');</script>

I see the google tag manager loaded by my browser, but it doesn't start.

If I add on the page the next script, instead of yours, it works!

 <!-- Google Tag Manager -->
<script>(function(w,d,s,l,i){w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l].push({'gtm.start':
new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js'});var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],
j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'&l='+l:'';j.async=true;j.src=
'https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id='+i+dl;f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f);
})(window,document,'script','dataLayer','GTM-KXBHF8J');</script>
<!-- End Google Tag Manager -->

It runs all scripts included on the Google Tags Manager website at my tag.

Can you check what is wrong?

Thanks for the update. We will look into this right away and implement a fix. Once we have a fix in place, we will figure out what release the update will go into.

Google Tag Manager integration is now available with Retype v2.0.0-preview and should be generally available next week with the final v2.0.0 release.

The configuration within your projects retype.yml file would be:

integrations:
  googleTagManager:
    id: <your-tag-manager-code-here>

For example:

integrations:
  googleTagManager:
    id: GTM-KXBHF8J

If you have a chance, we would certainly appreciate you testing the v2.0.0-preview release and confirming that the Google Tag Manager integration is working as expected.

Hope this helps.

Update: The googleTagManager configuration docs have been published.
