Deploy Your First Server GTM Container

This guide takes you from an empty dashboard to a running tagging server.

Before you start

• A Taglinko account (create one).
• A Google Tag Manager account. You don't need to copy anything from it: you connect Google in the wizard, and Taglinko can create the server container for you.

Deploy

1. Open Server GTM Containers in the dashboard and choose Add container.
2. Container: enter a container name (up to 50 characters, shown exactly as you type it). Then, under Connect your GTM server container, choose Connect Google, pick your Tag Manager account and server container, or choose Create a new server container. Taglinko builds the container config itself. If you can't connect the Google account that owns the container, choose Set up manually and paste the config (how to get it). Taglinko runs in three global regions: North America, Europe and Dhaka (BDIX).
3. Server & domain: Taglinko generates a free your-name-xxxx.taglinko.com URL. You can enter your own domain here too; it is attached after deployment once your DNS is ready.
4. Plan: every container has its own plan. Choose a free container (15,000 requests a month, no card) if you have a free slot left, or pick a paid plan for this container. See Server GTM Plans Compared.
5. Review and deploy.

What happens next

The container's status moves from Deploying to Running, usually within a few minutes. If it ever reads Awaiting config, the container has no config and does not serve traffic: link it to Tag Manager from its Container tab, or paste the config there.

Your tagging server URL

Open the container's Overview tab. Under Tagging Server URLs you will find the HTTPS address your website should send events to. SSL is set up automatically.

Next

Connect your web GTM container to it, then add your own tracking domain.
