Outfunnel tracking snippet enables our Web tracking feature and lets you monitor which of your leads are visiting your website, where they come from, and which pages they visit.

There are three ways to implement Outfunnel's tracking snippet:

💡 If you are having trouble getting web tracking installed see here for common issues and fixes or reach out to support.

💡 Outfunnel applies a 3-second delay to the start of web tracking and uses a combination of browser data points to determine whether the visit has been made by a bot or a human. This means that if you identify a lead from an email click, a web visit may not always be recorded to reduce clutter and only provide you with accurate data.


Option 1: Add the tracking snippet to your website's HTML

If you have access to the HTML of your website (or to your content management system like Wix, Webflow or others), you can complete the steps below yourself. If you do not have access to your website's HTML, email this article to your web developer or IT department.

  1. Copy your unique tracking snippet from the Web tracking setup screen in your Outfunnel account.

  2. Install the snippet on every page of your website immediately after the web page's opening <head> tag, or as high in the <head> as possible. This helps to ensure that the tracking snippet is available and ready when the rest of the page loads.

  3. Once installed, browse a few pages on your website (disable AdBlock)

  4. Click on verify installation in Outfunnel.

Because every website or content management system is structured differently, we can't provide you with exact instructions on how to add tracking snippet. If you're not sure how to access the HTML code of your site, email this document to your webmaster, IT department, or technical resource.


Option 2: Install Outfunnel's WordPress plugin (recommended if you use WordPress)

  1. Install the Outfunnel plugin.

  2. Activate the plugin and navigate to the Settings area of the plugin.

  3. Paste the Tracking ID you'll find on the Web tracking page of Outfunnel (just the long line of numbers and letters, without quotation marks or other code elements) into the Wordpress plugin and click "Save changes".

  4. Once installed, browse a few pages on your website (disable AdBlock)

  5. Click on verify installation in Outfunnel.

Note: You can leave the Web forms integration section empty. This only applies if you are using Outfunnel to record form fills from your WP website to your CRM.


Option 3: Add the tracking snippet to Google Tag Manager

Even if you're using WordPress then Google Tag Manager (GTM) is still a very sensible way to manage the tracking tags you use on your site. Plus, it allows you to add much more detail to what you can track in Google Analytics.

If you want to add the Outfunnel web tracking snippet via GTM, all you need to do is follow these simple steps:

  1. Create a new tag in Google Tag Manager

  2. Name it "Outfunnel" or something easily recognizable and select Custom HTML as the tag type.

  3. Grab your Outfunnel web tracking snippet from the Web tracking setup screen and paste it into the HTML field in GTM

  4. Set the tag to trigger on all pages by choosing the trigger with the name "All pages".

  5. Save your new tag and publish your container

  6. Once published, browse a few pages on your website

  7. Click on verify installation in Outfunnel
