This article introduces how to set up MGID Pixel via GTM in the MGID Ads system.
MGID Pixel via GTM (Google Tag Manager) tracking method is a good option for those who don't know how to code. Google Tag Manager allows you to implement the MGID pixel code to your site and set up conversions.
For the GTM option, you must ensure that the ‘adclid’ parameter is transferred in the URL (not just in cookies) all over the flow up to the conversion page.
You don't need to copy/paste the JS pixel code from your MGID account if you are planning to set up Pixel with Google Tag Manager (GTM). Instead, select the MGID pixel template in the GTM Template Gallery.
Follow these steps:
1. Navigate to the Conversion tracking section and select the MGID Pixel via GTM option in the Tracking settings tab.
