# Matomo Tag Manager

Add the tag through Matomo Tag Manager, as a Custom HTML tag.

Not every tag manager keeps a script tag’s attributes as you wrote them (Google Tag Manager strips the `data-` ones), so add the tag with a few lines of script instead, with your domain in place of `example.com`:

```
<script>
(function () {
  var tag = document.createElement('script');
  tag.async = true;
  tag.setAttribute('data-domain', 'example.com');
  tag.src = 'https://fiveb.ar/js/tally.js';
  document.head.appendChild(tag);
})();
</script>
```

In your container, go to Tags, choose Create New Tag and pick Custom HTML. Paste the script into it and have it fire on a Pageview trigger, adding one if the container hasn’t got one. Then, under Publish, create a new version and publish it. See [Matomo’s help on managing tags](https://matomo.org/faq/tag-manager/manage-tags-in-matomo-tag-manager/).

Once it’s live, [check it works](https://fiveb.ar/docs/install.md#check-it-works).
