The Setup Process: Technical Guide
The following phases will walk you through the one-time technical setup of your Data Bridge system.
Phase 1: Forging Your Data Hub (Google Sheet & Apps Script)
- Create a new Google Sheet and rename the first tab to
Data Bridge Logs
. - Copy the Sheet ID from the URL (the long string between
/d/
and/edit
). - Go to
script.google.com
and create a new Apps Script project. - Paste the entire contents of your
code.gs
file into the editor. - In the script’s `Config` section, find the line
const SHEET_ID = '...';
and paste your Sheet ID between the quotes. - Create a new HTML file in the project named exactly
UpdateForm
(case-sensitive). - Paste the entire contents of your
UpdateForm.html
file into it and click **Save project**.
Phase 2: Opening the Gateway (Deploying the Web App)
- In Apps Script, click Deploy > New deployment.
- Set the type to Web app.
- Configure the settings: Execute as: Me, and Who has access: Anyone.
- Click Deploy and **Allow** the authorization permissions when prompted.
- Copy the final **Web App URL**.
Phase 3: Integrating the Engine (Configuring WordPress)
- Install and activate the
online-ventures-data-bridge.zip
plugin in WordPress. - Navigate to the **Data Bridge** settings page.
- Paste your **Web App URL**.
- Enter your desired **Notification Email Address**.
- Enter your comma-separated list of **Conversion Event Names**.
- Click **Save Changes**.
Phase 4: Building the Sensors (Configuring GTM)
This repeatable pattern allows you to track any number of forms or clicks.
- Enable Variables: In GTM, go to Variables > Built-In Variables and ensure “Click Element” is checked.
- Create Listener Tag: Create a “Custom HTML” tag named `Listener – Divi Form Clicks`, paste in the listener code, and set it to fire on “All Pages”.
- Create Data Layer Variable: Create a “Data Layer Variable” named `DLV – form_id_value` that reads the variable name `form_id_value`.
- For Each Form:
- Create a **Custom Event Trigger** that fires when the `event` is `custom.form.submit` AND `DLV – form_id_value` equals your form’s CSS ID (e.g., `contact-form-header`).
- Create a **Custom HTML Tag** that pushes a unique event to the dataLayer (e.g., `dataLayer.push({‘event’: ‘header_form_submission’});`) and attach the trigger you just made to it.
Phase 5: Tagging Your Assets (Configuring Divi)
- For each form you are tracking in GTM, go to the Divi Builder on that page.
- Open the form’s Module Settings > Advanced tab > CSS ID & Classes.
- Enter the unique CSS ID that matches the one you used in its GTM trigger (e.g., `contact-form-header`).
Phase 6: Go Live & Verify
- In GTM, click **Submit** and then **Publish** all your changes.
- Open your live website in a New Incognito Window and trigger a conversion.
- Check your Google Sheet for a new, complete row of data and your inbox for the notification email.
