2 Beds24 Setup

  • Go to (SETTINGS) > BOOKING ENGINE > PROPERTY BOOKING PAGE > DEVELOPERS under Advanced HTML Settings in Insert in HTML <HEAD>
  • Add the Code

Example code:

<script>(function(w,d,s,l,i){w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l].push({'gtm.start': new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js'});var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0], j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'&l='+l:;j.async=true;j.src= 'https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id='+i+dl;f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f); })(window,document,'script','dataLayer','GTM-123456');</script>

  • Additionally, paste this code immediately after the opening <body> tag. You can add it in any field in Source code in (SETTINGS) SETTINGS > BOOKING ENGINE > BOOKING PAGE > CONTENT

Example Code:

<noscript><iframe src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/ns.html?id=GTM-123456" height="0" width="0" style="display:none;visibility:hidden"></iframe></noscript>
