Configure gtag for Cross-Domain Tracking

    Hi @specialk – Thanks for the great work and support!

    Is there documentation for how to specifically use the “Custom GA Code” field?

    I need to add the following to our gtag code on various sites:

    gtag('config', 'GA_MEASUREMENT_ID', {
  'linker': {
    'domains': ['domain1.com', 'domain2.org', 'sub.domain1.com', 'sub.domain2.com', 'sub.domain3.com']
  }
});

    Following these instructions for: Bi-directional cross-domain measurement

    When I added the entire snippet, however, our GA Views stopped tracking all data. I clearly broke the gtag. What part of the code needs to be entered where?

    I did find this old related support topic you resolved, but it references the old analytics.js:
    AllowLinker for cross domain tracking?

    Any guidance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Based on that old topic. I’m wondering if the solution is to…

    Add this to “Custom Tracker Objects”:
    {'allowLinker': true}

    And add this to “Custom GA Code”:
    ga('linker:domains', ['domain1.com', 'domain2.org', 'sub.domain1.com', 'sub.domain2.com', 'sub.domain3.com']);

    Am I anywhere close?

    Hi @agreda, glad to help. Should be able to just add the following code to the plugin setting, “Custom Tracker Objects”:

    {'linker':{'domains':['example-pet-store.com']}}

    Save changes and done. Make sure to check the tracking code by viewing the source of your web pages.
