What is this for?
For customers looking to track online bookings back to advertising platforms (Facebook, Google, etc.)
How it Works:
We do conversion tracking through Google Tag Manager. If you don't have a GTM container configured on your site, complete that first.
Shopgenie fires a custom data layer event called appointmentBooked
that is then picked up by GTM and used to fire conversion events.
1. Go to your GTM container:
2. Go to "Triggers"➝ "New" and configure the trigger as follows:
3. Use that custom event trigger to fire conversion tags!
