When to use it
Use it when you want your own analytics and ad tags on the pages where members sign up, book, and pay. 1Club pushes standard events (page views, sign-up, login, booking, payment, form submit) to the dataLayer, so you can wire them to GA4 or any tag without a redeploy. Consent stays in your hands too: the container works with Google Consent Mode configured in GTM. Typical uses:- Measuring which ads produce bookings - forward the
booking_createdevent to GA4 and the Meta Pixel, so booking conversions are attributed to campaign and surface. - Separating website leads from portal sign-ups - trigger on
sign_up, remapform_submittedto GA4’sgenerate_lead, and split the reports withevent_source. - Reporting portal purchases as revenue - forward
payment_successto GA4’spurchasewithtransaction_id,value, andcurrency, so checkout revenue appears in GA4’s monetization reports.
Before you start
You need a GTM container ID in the formatGTM-XXXXXXX. Find it on the workspace overview screen in tagmanager.google.com, next to your container name.
If you want to use Google Analytics 4, configure the GA4 Configuration tag inside your GTM container. 1Club does not accept a standalone GA4 measurement ID - everything goes through GTM.
Google Tag Manager is a paid-plan feature. On the Free plan and during the trial you can’t save a container ID until you upgrade.
Saving the container ID requires the settings.manage.organization permission. Viewing it requires settings.read.organization.
Activate Google Tag Manager
- Go to Settings > Integrations and click Activate on the Google Tag Manager card, under Marketing. The Google Tag Manager page opens.
- Paste your container ID into GTM Container ID. Spaces are trimmed and letters are made uppercase. The ID must be
GTM-followed by letters or digits. - Click Save.
Where the tag loads
1Club injects two things on every public page render:- The standard GTM script (
https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id=GTM-XXXXXXX), loaded with Next.jsafterInteractivestrategy so it does not block first paint. - The noscript iframe fallback for visitors with JavaScript disabled.
{org}.portal.1club.ai or your custom portal domain) and the CMS website (your branded site) read the container ID from your organization settings and load the same container.
What gets tracked
1Club only loads the container. What it tracks is entirely up to your GTM workspace. Typical setups include:- Page views on the marketing site and member portal.
- Conversion events for sign-up, booking confirmation, purchase, or contact-form lead.
- Custom dataLayer events you trigger from GTM tags.
Events pushed by 1Club
The member portal and CMS website push a small set of standard events towindow.dataLayer automatically. Create a Custom Event trigger in GTM with the matching name and forward to GA4 (or any other tag).
All non-
page_view events also carry event_source so you can split GA4 reports by surface.
Suggested GA4 mapping
For drop-in GA4 coverage, map the events above to GA4’s recommended names where they line up, and pass them through as-is otherwise:sign_upandloginalready match GA4’s recommended events - forward with Event Name{{Event}}and GA4 surfaces them in the standard user-engagement reports.payment_successmaps to GA4’spurchaseif you also passtransaction_id,value, andcurrency. If you don’t have those yet, forward aspayment_successand report on it as a custom event.form_submittedis a good fit for GA4’s recommendedgenerate_leadevent. Either forward asform_submittedor remap togenerate_leadin your GA4 Event tag - whichever you prefer for reporting.
Cookie consent
The GTM snippet runs on every page load. If you operate under GDPR, ePrivacy, or similar regulations, configure consent in your GTM container using Google’s Consent Mode and gate marketing or analytics tags on the appropriate consent state. 1Club’s cookie banner records the visitor’s preferences but does not configure GTM tags for you.Worked examples
Padel gym measuring booking conversions
A padel gym runs Google and Meta ads and wants to know which spend produces court bookings. Save the GTM container ID in 1Club, then in GTM create a Custom Event trigger onbooking_created and forward it to a GA4 event and the Meta Pixel. Because 1Club pushes booking_created with booking_id and event_source automatically, the gym sees booking conversions attributed to campaign and surface without touching any code.
Yoga studio tracking free-trial sign-ups
A yoga studio’s goal is portal sign-ups from its website. In GTM, add a trigger onsign_up and remap form_submitted to GA4’s generate_lead for contact-form leads. The event_source parameter lets the studio split reports between website leads and portal sign-ups in GA4.
Gym reporting membership purchases as revenue
A fitness gym forwardspayment_success to GA4’s purchase, adding transaction_id, value, and currency in the GA4 Event tag. Revenue from portal checkout then shows up in GA4’s monetization reports alongside the invoice_id 1Club already passes.
Tips and best practices
- Keep all tags in GTM, not scattered across tools. 1Club only loads the container; everything else (GA4, pixels, remarketing) lives in your GTM workspace so you can change it without a code change.
- Publish your GTM workspace after every change. 1Club loading the container does nothing until you publish the version that contains your tags and triggers.
- Use the built-in
event_sourceparameter to separate portal and website performance in the same GA4 property. - Test with Tag Assistant on both the portal and the CMS website after saving, since they load the same container independently.
- If you operate under GDPR or ePrivacy, wire your marketing and analytics tags to Google Consent Mode in GTM before you start advertising.
Deactivate
- Click Deactivate at the top of the Google Tag Manager page.
- Confirm in the Deactivate Google Tag Manager? dialog. It warns that the integration stops working and its settings are deleted.
