  • Create "User defined variables" following this scheme:

    • Type of variable: Data layer variable

    • Name of the data layer variable: indicate the value you set up in your custom dimension on GA4 in the event parameter field (ex: adloop_click_1).

    • And give it an adloop related name

    • Repeat these operations for all custom dimensions created in GA

 

  • Open the configuration of the "Google Analytics settings" variable, 

  • In "More Settings -> Custom Dimensions, click on "Add Custom Dimension"

  • Fill in the following information:

    • Index: XX (where "XX" is the index of the dimension created on GA)

    • Dimension value: {{adloop_click_XX}} (Use the brick to choose the previously created variable)

    • Repeat these operations for all variables created in GTM

  • Go to the "Tags" section and add a new tag of type "Custom HTML", with the name "Adloop tag".

  • Copy and paste the content provided on the Adloop interface into the "HTML" field of the tag

  • Save the tag without trigger

  • Open the configuration of the Google Analytics tag with the largest trigger ("All pages" or “Pageviews” for example). 

  • In the advanced settings of this tag, in "Tag sequencing", check "Trigger a tag before Google Analytics is triggered" and choose the "Adloop tag" previously created

  •  

  • Check if the script is working without error in the preview mode (find our documentation here), then deploy the new version.

  • Make sure the Container ID is listed under the Build-In Variables

    • If not, click “Configure”, search for Container ID under “Utilities” and enable it

  • Go to the "Variables" section

  • According to the custom dimensions created earlier, create "User defined variables" following this scheme:

    • First one:

      • Type of variable: Data layer variable

      • Name of the data layer variable name : adloop_click_1

      • Give the variable an Adloop related name

    • Second one:

      • Type of variable: Data layer variable

      • Name of the data layer variable: adloop_click_1_meta

      • Give the variable an Adloop related name

 

  • Open the configuration of the GA4 Configuration tag (type: Google Tag)

  • In "Fields to Set”, click on "Add Row"

  • Fill in the following information:

    • Field Name: adloop_click_1

    • Value: Use the brick to choose the previously created variable (the 1st one)

    • Add another filed: adloop_click_1_meta

    • Value: Use the brick to choose the previously created variable (the 2nd one)

 

  • Go to the "Tags" section and add a new tag of type "Custom HTML", with the name "Adloop tag"

  • Copy and paste the content provided on the Adloop interface into the "HTML" field of the tag

  • Save the tag without trigger

 

  • Open the GA4 Configuration tag (type: Google Tag) that was opened in a previous step

  • In the advanced settings of this tag, in "Tag sequencing", check "Trigger a tag before this tag is triggered" and choose the "Adloop tag" previously created

  • For your GA4 events (purchase, add to cart, view item etc.) set-up on GTM, add the Adloop event parameters & values :

adloop_click_1 and for the value select the first user defined variable you created previously using the brick button

adloop_click_1_meta and for the value select the second user defined variable you created previously using the brick button

Note: the name of the value between {{ }} depends on how you named your user defined variable ; it might be different from the screenshot above.

  • Check that all your events (add to cart, purchase etc.) are triggered after the pageview is sent. Otherwise our script won’t be able to catch those events.

  • Deploy the new version
