Altcraft Tag Manager​

A new tool has been introduced in the platform — Tag Manager. With it, you can manage HTML tags and JavaScript code on your website independently, without involving developers. When developing Altcarft Tag Manager, we based it on Google Tag Manager, so if you've worked with GTM before, you'll easily learn the new functionality.

To get started with the Tag Manager, embed the container code on on your website's pages. After installation, all subsequent configurations are done through the platform's interface, without the need to make changes to the source code.

A container is a wrapper that holds tags. A tag is a piece of code that executes on the site under specific conditions. Currently, two types of tags are available: popup and custom HTML. First, you need to add a tag to the container, and then configure a trigger for it.

A trigger is a condition for a tag to fire. Triggers monitor specific events on the site (such as clicks, page loads, or form submissions) and activate tags in response to these events. By default, triggers activate in response to all events of a specific type, but you can target website visitors using variables.

Once you configure tags, triggers, and variables, all that's left is to create a new version of the container and publish it. After that, all changes made will appear on the website.

For more information on configuring the Altcraft Tag Manager, refer to this documentation section.

Popups​

We've also introduced the ability to create popups — overlay windows that appear above the main content of a web page. When used strategically, popups can encourage your site's visitors to take specific actions.

There are several types of popups available:

  • Modal window positioned in the center of the page.
  • Floating panel located at the top or bottom.
  • Dropdown window in the lower corner of the site.
  • Full-screen popup.

For each type, we've prepared templates with various designs:

Choose any template and use it as a starting point. In the visual editor, you can modify the popup's design, text, and customize form fields:

For those comfortable with coding, a dedicated editor is available:

Popups are effective when they appear at the right moment. We recommend configuring popup display conditions through Altcraft Tag Manager.

You need to link the container to the popup and set up a trigger that will initiate tag execution. For example, if you want visitors to see a popup when they scroll the page to a specific point, you can configure it as shown below. The Page Path variable will limit the trigger's activation: the popup will only appear on pages with URLs containing /shop:

Data from users who fill out the popup form can be imported into the platform's database.

We've also provided tools for popup analytics. You can review statistics on popup views and completions, as well as user responses. For ease of analysis, we've visualized the metrics in a funnel format, helping you assess popup conversion:

In addition to this, popup metrics are now available in the traffic report.

Refer to this documentation section for a guide on how to work with popups in Altcraft Platform.

The image gallery has been updated. Now you can perform bulk operations on gallery items. For example, you can select multiple images and delete or download them. Additionally, to organize the storage of images in the platform, we have added the ability to create folders and enable sorting.

Minor changes​

  • The "Forms" section has been relocated to the "Weblayers."
  • The editor for relations between profiles has been updated.
  • Subtypes of suppress events have been added.
  • The ability to trace HTTP requests has been added.

Bug fixes​

  • The export of profile IDs from quick segments now works correctly.
  • Panics in proceventgen and campaign have been resolved.
