Install JavaScript for Documentation through Google Tag Manager

You can install the Reo.Dev JavaScript tracking script in your documentation using Google Tag Manager (GTM).

Before adding the script to GTM, you must configure your Base URL in the Reo.Dev UI.

Configure the Base URL in Reo.Dev UI (Required for Tracking to Work)

To ensure tracking applies to the correct documentation pages, you must first configure the Base URL in your Reo.Dev dashboard.

What is the Base URL?

The Base URL is the root domain where your tracked documentation pages exist. For example:

• If your documentation is hosted at https://docs.example.com, set docs.example.com as your Base URL.

• If you track multiple subdomains, configure each accordingly in Reo.Dev.

How to Set the Base URL?

• Log in to your Reo.Dev dashboard.

• Navigate to Tracking Setup → Website Tracking.

• Enter your Base URL in the Website URL field (e.g., docs.example.com).

• Choose between:

  • Enrich Entire Website → Tracks all pages under this domain.

  • Enrich Specific Pages → Tracks only selected pages.

For Documentation Tracking via GTM

1. Go to the Documentation tab.

2. In the Documentation URL field, enter the Base URL of your documentation site (e.g., docs.example.com).

3. Click + Add Documentation URL if you have multiple subdomains for docs (e.g., help.example.com, developer.example.com).

Once the Base URL is set up, you can proceed with adding the tracking script in GTM.
