Get Your GTM Container Config

Your Taglinko container needs one value from Google Tag Manager: the container config of a GTM server container (Google calls it the provisioning config). The easiest way is to let Taglinko get it for you.

The easy way: Connect Google

1. In the deploy wizard, under Connect your GTM server container, choose Connect Google.
2. Sign in with the Google account that has access to your Tag Manager account and choose Allow.
3. Pick your Tag Manager account, then your server container. No server container yet? Choose Create a new server container, give it a name and choose Create in Tag Manager.
4. Deploy. Taglinko builds the config itself. There is nothing to copy.

Taglinko also puts your container's address in Tag Manager's Server container URLs, and keeps it up to date when you add or remove a domain, so Preview mode opens the right place.

On a container you already have

Open the container, then the Container tab. Under Google Tag Manager you can link a server container, Refresh from Google (for example after you reset the environment in Tag Manager), pick a different container, or Unlink. Unlinking keeps the container running with its current config.

What Taglinko can see

Taglinko only lists your Tag Manager accounts and server containers, reads the picked container's ID and live environment, creates a server container when you ask, and sets its Server container URLs. It never reads or changes your tags, triggers, variables or web containers. You can disconnect at any time with Disconnect next to your Google account. See our Privacy Policy.

The manual way: paste the config

Choose Set up manually in the wizard if you cannot connect the Google account that owns the container (for example, an agency working on a client's account).

1. Open tagmanager.google.com and select your server container.
2. Go to Admin → Container Settings.
3. Copy the long provisioning string shown there.

Copy the long string that begins with something like aWQ9R1RN…. Do not paste the short GTM-XXXXXXX ID. The short ID belongs in your website's web container, not here.

No server container yet? In Tag Manager choose Create Container, pick Server as the target platform, then select Manually provision tagging server so Google gives you the config string instead of creating a Google-hosted server.

You can paste it during the deploy wizard, or later on the container page. If a container has no config yet it shows an Action Required banner; paste the string and choose Save & Start Tracking. Taglinko saves it and redeploys the container.

Treat it like a secret

Anyone with the config can run a container against your GTM server container. Share it only with people who should have access.
