Copy a tag, trigger or variable between sites, apps and meta sites and apps

When you’re dealing with multiple sites and apps that need the same functions, recreating tags, triggers or variables can eat up your time. To save this time, you can simply copy these items from one place to another.

Copy a single tag, trigger or variable

To copy a single tag, trigger or variable from one site, app or meta site/app to another, follow these steps:

1. Go to Menu > Tag Manager.
2. Navigate to Tags, Triggers or Variables.
3. On the left, pick the tag, trigger or variable you want to work with.
4. Click Copy.

   

5. (Optional) When you’re coping the tag, you can choose: Copy all associated triggers and variables.

   

   Note: If you copy the custom code (async) tag and it contains a variable, you need to additionally copy this variable.

6. Click OK.
7. Done! Go to the site, app or meta site/app to which you copied the tag, trigger or variable. It’ll show up as unpublished in the list.

   

Copy all tags, triggers or variables

To copy all tags, triggers and variables from one site, app or meta site/app to another, follow these steps:

1. Go to Menu > Tag Manager.
2. Navigate to Settings.
3. On the left, click Import.
4. Choose the place from which you want to copy all tags, triggers and variables.

   

5. Choose one of the following options:
   • Import the last published snapshot
   • Import the snapshot with unpublished changes

   Note: You’ll import all tags, triggers and variables. Only the tag with tracking code won’t be imported. The import will overwrite unpublished changes.

6. Click Import.
7. Done!

Copy a snapshot from the changelog

To copy a snapshot from the changelog, follow these steps:
