Push Snitcher company data to the Google Tag Manager dataLayer, making it available for use in tags, triggers, and variables throughout your GTM container.

​
Setup Overview

  1. Configure the Spotter callback to push data to the dataLayer
  2. Create Data Layer Variables in GTM
  3. Use those variables in your tags

​
Step 1: Push Data to dataLayer

Snitcher.on('initialized', async function() {
  const identification = await Snitcher.getSpotterIdentification();
  
  if (identification && identification.success) {
    const data = identification.data;
    
    window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
    window.dataLayer.push({
      event: 'snitcher_identified',
      snitcher: {
        name: data.name,
        domain: data.website,
        industry: data.industry,
        size: data.size
      }
    });
  }
});

​
Using Callback (Legacy)

Define SpotterSettings before the Snitcher script loads: 
<script>
  window.SpotterSettings = {
    callback: function(identification) {
      // Ignore ISP identifications
      if (identification && identification.type !== "isp") {
        var company = identification.company;

        // Push to dataLayer
        window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
        window.dataLayer.push({
          event: 'snitcher_identified',
          snitcher: {
            name: company.name,
            domain: company.domain,
            industry: company.industry,
            size: company.employee_range
          }
        });
      }
    }
  };
</script>

<!-- Snitcher tracking script loads after -->
No API token is required. Spotter uses your tracker’s profile ID for authentication automatically.

​
Step 2: Create Data Layer Variables in GTM

  1. Sign in to Google Tag Manager
  2. Navigate to Variables → User-Defined Variables → New
  3. Configure each variable:
Variable NameData Layer Variable NameVersion
SnitcherCompanyNamesnitcher.nameVersion 2
SnitcherCompanyDomainsnitcher.domainVersion 2
SnitcherCompanyIndustrysnitcher.industryVersion 2
SnitcherCompanySizesnitcher.sizeVersion 2
For each variable:
  • Click Variable Configuration → Data Layer Variable
  • Enter the Data Layer Variable Name from the table
  • Set Data Layer Version to Version 2
  • Click Save

​
Step 3: Create a Trigger (Optional)

To fire tags when a company is identified:
  1. Go to Triggers → New
  2. Choose Custom Event
  3. Set Event name to snitcher_identified
  4. Save the trigger

​
Using the Variables

Once configured, use {{"{{SnitcherCompanyName}}"}}, {{"{{SnitcherCompanyIndustry}}"}}, etc. in any tag:

​
Example: GA4 Event

Create a GA4 Event tag with these event parameters:
Parameter NameValue
company_name{{"{{SnitcherCompanyName}}"}}
company_industry{{"{{SnitcherCompanyIndustry}}"}}
company_size{{"{{SnitcherCompanySize}}"}}

​
Example: LinkedIn Insight Tag

Use company data to build retargeting audiences based on company attributes.
