Flowtag Docs

Quickstart

Get up and running with Flowtag in minutes.

1. Create an account

Go to flowtag.dev and sign up. After signing in you will land on the Dashboard.

2. Add analytics to your website

Create a tracker

In the Dashboard, open Trackers and click New tracker. Give it a name and enter your website's domain (e.g. example.com).

Install the snippet

Copy the snippet from the Connect dialog and paste it into the <head> of every page you want to track.

<script
  src="https://beacon.flowtagservices.com/tag.js"
  defer
  async
  data-ft="YOUR_TRACKER_ID"
  data-debug="false"
  data-gtagsync="true"
  data-auto-init="true"
  data-base-url="https://beacon.flowtagservices.com"
></script>

Verify

Click Check your website in the Connect dialog to confirm the tag is live.

3. Add a remote config variable

Create a variable

Open Variables in the Dashboard and click New variable. Choose a key (e.g. show-banner) and a type — Toggle for a boolean flag or JSON for structured config.

Create an access token

Go to Variables -> Tokens and create a new token. Choose which variables it can access.

Fetch the variable

Call the Variables edge API from your app:

curl "https://variables.flowtagservices.com/v1/value/YOUR_VARIABLE_ID?token=YOUR_TOKEN"

Response:

{
  "id": "YOUR_VARIABLE_ID",
  "name": "show-banner",
  "type": "toggle",
  "digest": "abc123",

}
