Installing the Spotify Pixel with Google Tag Manager

Step-by-step guide to install the Spotify Pixel in your Google Tag Manager instance

Google Tag Manager (GTM) is one of many tag management solutions that advertisers may use to store and manage third party code.

When implementing the Spotify Pixel via GTM, make sure you have the ID for the Spotify Pixel you generated in Spotify Ad Analytics dashboard. Once you've done this, you'll go to GTM to complete the implementation process:

Step 1

 Select Add New Tag is a workspace

Step 2

Select the 'Custom HTML' tag type 

Step 3

Copy and paste the Page View script tag from your dashboard into the custom HTML box. Note, please ensure you have captured the whole of the script block provided in your pixel dashboard, inclusive of the pixel ID

Step 4

Select the trigger to be “all page views” or any trigger you would like Spotify Ad Analytics to track

Step 5 (Final)

When you are done, the tag should have the final configuration

Events

Spotify Ad Analytics needs the install script with every fire of Spotify Pixel. If you would like to use conversion events like lead and purchase you will need to include the full script before calling pdst('{action}', {options}).  

Copy and paste the Lead Event or Purchase Event script tag from your dashboard.

Note that the install script will only run once, even if it’s called multiple times.
