How to Set up Popupsmart with Google Tag Manager

There are three different ways to set up Popupsmart on your website by adding a provided single line of JavaScript code:

  1. Embed the code on your custom website
  2. Setup with popular CMS services
  3. Setup with Google Tag Manager

Adding the code to your website is a one-time requirement, so you won’t need to repeat this process again.

Follow the steps below to set up Popupsmart on your website using Google Tag Manager.

1. Log in to your Popupsmart account and go to your dashboard. Click on "Embed Code", which is located on the left sidebar. Then, copy your unique Popupsmart embed code from the GTM tab.

6. Click on Triggering and select All Pages to allow Popupsmart to work on all your web pages. This way, you can add a popup to any of them without further configurations.

If you select All Pages, our system counts the pageviews of the whole website regardless of which page you added the popup to.

✅ Important: A pageview is the amount of total page view requests from your added websites.

❗️If you plan to use your pageview limit efficiently, you may choose to show popups on only selected page/s and not just anywhere on your website. In this case, instead of adding the embed code to your whole site, add it to specific pages using Google Tag Manager.

• To target specific pages, edit “Trigger” and click on the “+” icon in the upper-right corner of the screen.

• To add more than one page, click "+" or delete a condition with "-" next to each trigger.

✳️ Note that if you make these configurations instead of All Pages, you won’t be able to show popups on the pages that weren’t specified in GTM. In that case, you must manually add those pages among the triggers.

7. Once you have configured the triggers, click the Submit button.
