Connect Web GTM to Your Server Container

Your server container only receives data once your website sends it there. This is configured in your web GTM container.

1. Set the server container URL

1. In Tag Manager, open your web container.
2. Edit your Google tag (or GA4 configuration tag).
3. Add the configuration parameter server_container_url and set it to your tagging server URL, for example https://track.yourdomain.com or your *.taglinko.com address.
4. Save and publish.

2. Add a client and tags on the server side

In your server container, make sure a GA4 client exists to receive the requests, and add the server-side tags for the platforms you want to forward to. Taglinko does not change how these behave; it runs Google's standard container image.

3. Verify

1. Open Preview in the server container and load your site.
2. Confirm incoming requests appear and your tags fire.
3. Then open the container's Event Logs tab in Taglinko (on plans that include it) to see requests arriving.

Using a custom tracking domain

Use the same server_container_url field but with your own subdomain once it is verified. See Custom First-Party Tracking Domains.
