Google Adds New Features to Tag Manager
To support both marketers and IT teams, Google has introduced three new updates to Tag Manager.
Google has enhanced Tag Manager’s capabilities by adding new APIs, more third-party templates, and a new intuitive interface.
According to Google, the new Google Tag Manager API will enable users to customize the infrastructure of their websites based on their individual needs. For example, the new API makes it easy to manage user access in bulk. The admin can set permissions for many users at once, or set up role-based permissions and let the API give the right level of access to the right people accordingly. Agencies can also use the new API to easily manage large tagging setups for their clients, says Google.
Meanwhile, over the next few weeks, Google will be incorporating more third-party templates into the tag creation flow. Currently, Tag Manager supports tags from AdRoll, Marin, comScore, Biz, and Criteo, among others.
If a user cannot find the tag they need, they can add it immediately as a custom HTML tag.
In addition to new APIs and more third-party templates, Google Tag Manager now has a more intuitive interface to enable marketing managers to adjust and update tags.
Users can experience the new user interface immediately by logging into their Google accounts.
