Tracking and Analytics Setup with Google Tag Manager & Google Analytics

Gathr supports Google Tag Manager (GTM) and Google Analytics (GA) integration so you can track engagement and performance across your Film’s presence on the platform.

🎯 Google Analytics Tag Integration (Direct GA Tag)

If you are using Google Analytics directly (not via GTM), you can provide your Google Analytics tag (G-XXXXXXXXXX) directly into your Film Management dashboard, and we’ll handle the rest.

Navigate to your Film Management dashboard, and select the Marketing & Analytics tab in the Film Management menu. Input your GA Tag there. 

We’ll implement your Google Analytics tag across all key pages where your Film is featured, including:

  • Film details page (gathr.com/films/[film-id])
  • Film details page — Screenings page (gathr.com/film/[film-id]/screenings)
  • Screening details page (gathr.com/events/[event-id])
  • Showtimes widget (embedded on partner or external sites)
  • Rental details page (/vod/[vod-id]/[vod-slug])
  • Rental checkout page (/vod/[vod-id]/checkout)
  • Rental watch page (/vod/[vod-id]/watch)
  • Pay-It-Forward (PIF) donation page (/payitforward/[id]/[pay-it-forward-slug])
  • Rental unavailable due to geo-blocking page (/vod/[vod-id]/checkout)
  • Event unavailable due to geo-blocking page (/vod/[vod-id]/checkout)

This setup allows you to track user engagement, performance metrics, traffic sources, and more across your Film’s full presence on the GATHR platform.

🔍 Where to View Your Data:
All analytics data will be available directly in your Google Analytics dashboard, where you can view real-time activity, audience insights, acquisition channels, and create custom reports.


🧩 Google Tag Manager (GTM) Integration

If you prefer to manage multiple tracking tools from a single platform, GATHR supports Google Tag Manager.

Enter your GTM Container ID (e.g., GTM-XXXXXXX) in the designated field on your Film Management dashboard, and we’ll handle the rest.

Navigate to your Film Management dashboard, and select the Marketing & Analytics tab in the Film Management menu. Input your GTM Container ID there. 

We’ll automatically insert your GTM container onto the following pages for your Film:

  • Film details page (gathr.com/films/[film-id])
  • Film details page — Screenings page (gathr.com/film/[film-id]/screenings)
  • Screening details page (gathr.com/events/[event-id])
  • Film Showtimes widget (embedded on partner or external sites)
  • Rental details page (/vod/[vod-id]/[vod-slug])
  • Rental checkout page (/vod/[vod-id]/checkout)
  • Event watch page (gathr.com/events/[event-id]/watch)
  • Pay-It-Forward (PIF) details page (/payitforward/[id]/[pay-it-forward-slug])

Any tags you've configured inside your GTM container—such as Google Analytics, Meta/Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, or custom conversion tracking—will execute according to your setup. This gives you full control over how and when tags fire without needing to modify code.
