We put together a video here to show you how to set it up (it’s really easy) and with this enabled on your websites you can quickly deploy new tools to test.One example, try different chat widgets and features on your website. I just recently switched from Drift to Kayako Messenger with 1 press of a button using Google Tag Manager.
