### Step 1: Scan URL for Trackers

Quickly check if your site already has tracking scripts installed.

* Enter your site URL in Scan URL (e.g., [`https://example.com`](https://example.com/)).
* Click Scan URL.
* If trackers are found, they appear in the Available Trackers list.
* Select the trackers you want and attach them to your project.

> Use this if you’ve already embedded trackers in your website code and just need to connect them to this project.

Tips

* Scan the public URL that actually serves your pages (avoid staging or password-gated URLs unless accessible).
* Some script managers (e.g., GTM) may require the page to fully load—open the page in a new tab first if a scan returns nothing.

### Step 2:Add New Tracker

If your project needs a tracker that isn’t found by the scan:

* Click Add Tracker.
* Paste the tracker id (e.g., GA, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar).
* Save. The tracker now appears under Current Trackers.

> Use this to manually install additional analytics or marketing pixels.

### Step 3: Current Trackers

This section lists the trackers currently attached to your project.

* To stop using a tracker, click Remove (you can always re-attach it later from Available Trackers, if applicable).
* If no trackers are attached, you’ll see:
* &#x20;*“No trackers attached to this project. Scan a URL or add trackers from your organization.”*

### Step 4:Available Organization Trackers

If your organization has pre-approved (shared) trackers, they’ll appear here.

* Click to attach any available organization tracker to your project.
* If you see *“All organization trackers are already attached,”* there’s nothing else to add.

### Best Practices

* Verify detections: After a scan, confirm the trackers listed match what’s actually installed on your site.
* Avoid duplicates: Don’t attach the same tracker twice (e.g., two GA4 tags), which can inflate analytics.
* Align with policy: Use only the trackers your team has approved (e.g., company-wide GA4 or Clarity).
* Respect privacy: Ensure your use of trackers complies with consent/notice requirements (e.g., GDPR/CPRA) and your cookie banner setup.

### Troubleshooting

* Scan found nothing:
  * Ensure the URL is publicly accessible and not behind auth.
  * Check if an ad-blocker is hiding scripts during scan.
  * Single-page apps: make sure the base route serves the script tags.
* Tracker shows attached but no data:
  * Verify the correct property/site ID in the snippet.
  * Check domain filters and consent settings in the tracker’s dashboard.
* Seeing duplicates:
  * Remove one copy via Current Trackers, and confirm only one snippet is present in your site/template or tag manager.
