Quick start

Get Pulsr monitoring your GTM container in under 5 minutes.

ℹ No backend required. Pulsr runs entirely from a client-side script intercepting your dataLayer.

Step 1 — Add the script tag

Paste the following snippet into a new Custom HTML tag in your GTM container. Set the trigger to Consent Initialization — All Pages and publish.

HTML — GTM Custom HTML Tag

<script
  src="https://monitor.getpulsr.eu/gtm-monitor.js?cid=YOUR_CLIENT_ID"
  defer
></script>

Replace YOUR_CLIENT_ID with the client ID from your Pulsr dashboard under Settings → Installation.

Step 2 — Configure your events

By default, Pulsr monitors the following GTM events. All thresholds are configurable per client in your dashboard.

Event	Default min/hour	Severity
page_view	10	MEDIUM
view_item	5	MEDIUM
add_to_cart	1	MEDIUM
begin_checkout	1	MEDIUM
purchase	1	HIGH

Step 3 — Connect your Slack workspace

In your Pulsr dashboard, navigate to Settings → Alerts and paste your Slack Incoming Webhook URL. You can configure a different webhook per client domain.

Pulsr sends a structured Slack message every hour during your configured business hours when any monitored event drops below threshold.

Step 4 — Verify events are firing

Visit any page on your client's site, then open your Pulsr dashboard. A page_view event should appear in the live stream within 2 seconds.

If no events appear within 60 seconds, check that your GTM container is published and the tag trigger is set to Consent Initialization — All Pages.
