3. Login and Identity Settings

This section of the Zeotap Collect Tag setup guides you through configuring how login events and identity information (such as email, phone number, and login ID) are handled within Google Tag Manager (GTM).

Login Event​

Purpose: Specifies the dataLayer event name that is fired when a user logs in or when an user identity is to stored.

note

These Identities will be stored and persisted across all the subsequent calls to zeotap.

Example:

dataLayer.push({
  event: 'user_logged_in',
  email: '[email protected]',
  phone: '1 4155552671',
  loginid: 'user123'
});

Action:
In the tag configuration, set the Login Event field to match your event name (e.g., user_logged_in).

Is Hashing of Raw Identities Required?​

Enable this only if your identity values are in raw format (e.g., plain email or phone) and need to be hashed by the tag before sending to Zeotap.

Configuration for Raw Identities:​

Raw Email​

  • Enable: "Capture Email"

Deprecated

ID+ usage is deprecated.

If you are a Publisher using Zeotap’s ID+ services, enable this checkbox to trigger the creation of a first-party ID+ cookie on user login.

This requires that you have enabled ID+ for your organization.

Organisation Partner ID​

Enter the Partner ID provided by Zeotap.
This field is required for using ID+ services.

Example: zeotap-partner-12345

User Logout​

Purpose: Identifies the dataLayer event that should unset identity values (email, phone, loginid) from the user profile.

Example:

dataLayer.push({
  event: 'user_logged_out'
});

Action:
Set this to the event name (e.g., user_logged_out) in your tag configuration.

Logout Event Settings

User Attributes​

Use this section to provide additional user information to be sent to Zeotap.

Example GTM Variables:​

Attribute KeyGTM Variable
userType{{User Type}}
subscriptionPlan{{Subscription Plan}}
loyaltyScore{{Loyalty Score}}

Action:
Map each GTM variable to the corresponding attribute key. These will be included in setUserProperties.

A call to zeotap will be made with eventName: 'set_user_properties' with the set user properties in the user node of the paylod.

note

These properties are not persisted across subsequent calls to zeotap.
