Marketing Automation Set Up Instructions

Step 1 Insert Tracking Script  

Website Visitor Tracking Instructions

A powerful feature of our platform is its ability to collect and report on online activity associated with your contacts. Connecting your website is relatively simple.

Add the following script to every page of your website. The script should be located directly BEFORE the closing  </head>  tag.

<script src='https://activedemand-static.s3.amazonaws.com/public/javascript/jquery.tracker.compiled.js.gz' type='text/javascript'></script>

Many Content Management Systems (CMS) such as Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal or others often includes an interface that allows users to add a tracking code to all pages.

If you're not certain how to add the script to your website, contact your website administrator or just give us a call and we will walk you through it.
