How does Google Tag Manager work with server-side tagging?

Google Tag Manager (GTM) is the most widely used tag management system. This is mainly because everyone already has a Google account by default and because Google's tag management system is a no-code platform. That means you don't need any programming knowledge to work with it. But the reason we at AdPage work with Google Tag Manager is because it is a fine tag management system to set up server-side tagging for.

The server container that can be set up on Google Tag Manager can act as a conduit or gatekeeper for traffic to your server. The GTM server container keeps track of what comes in to your server and allows you to set triggers on the server container based on this traffic. So where within your GTM web container you are used to setting triggers on site interactions such as clicks or page views, you set triggers on the server container on specific events that come in. These server container triggers trigger tag configurations that can forward the incoming events to your marketing and analytics platforms.
