  5. Agree to the terms & privacy policy if prompted.
  6. You’ll be brought into your new Tag Manager workspace, and will likely be prompted to Install Google Tag Manager, just click OK

  7. Click Add a new tag
    Add a new tag
  8. Give your new Tag a name, you can give it any name, choose one that’s relevant though so it’s easy to recognise.
  9. Click Tag Configuration to start adding your tag. In the pane that opens scroll down and select Custom HTML
  10. In here you can enter your Javascript. You can include it as a linked resource or in an inline script tag.
    Paste in Script
  11. Scroll down to Triggering and click it.
  12. In the Pane that opens, check the box beside All Pages and click Add in the top right corner.
  13. Click Save
  14. You’ll be brought back to your Tag Manager Workspace.
    Tag Manager requires you to Submit or Publish changes so we’ll need to do that.
  15. Click Submit in the top right corner
    Click Submit
  16. Give your Version a name (This can be anything). Click Publish
  17. Switch back to the workspace Tab in Tag Manager and click the GTM id along the top bar.
    Click the ID
  18. In the Dialog that opens, locate and copy the GTM id.
    Copy the ID
  19. And that is Tag Manager setup with your Javascript. Now we just need to add Tag Manager to Our Flipbook.

2. Add your Tag Manager ID to your Flipbook

  1. Launch 3D Issue 9.3 on your Computer and open or create the Flipbook you wish to add your javascript to.
  2. In the Content tab select the correct template and profile. Then select Setup
  3. In the window that opens select the Domains tab and next to the domain(s) your Flipbook will appear under paste in your Tag Manager ID that we copied earlier.
  4. Click Next, then Finish
