UPDATE: Script manager has now launched! Check out the post below for the full details

Hey everyone,
For anyone who has more than a handful of pages in their account, you know how big a pain it is to add in your Google Analytics, or change something about a specific tracking script. After a few big development cycles focused on other areas, our team is really excited to get the ball rolling on this one.

Below you’ll find a video screencast of a clickable prototype put together by one of our product designers, Cole Derochie. Our intention here is to gather feedback and validate that this solution will solve some of the core pain many of you feel when updating global tracking scripts across all of your pages.

Please share your feedback and suggestions so that we can iterate our approach and deliver the best solution possible in as short amount of time as we can. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Hi everyone,

We’re happy to announce that we’ve opened up Script Manager to all our customers as a Labs feature.

To try out Script Manager, simply click on ‘Settings’, then ‘Labs Features’, and click the ‘Enable Script Manager’ checkbox. You’ll then see a new ‘Script Manager’ section, right there under Settings.

Before you get started, you’ll probably want to check out this support article: http://support.unbounce.com/entries/5…

Enjoy! Please let us know if you have any thoughts or feedback.

This is undoubtedly the the biggest missing feature of Unbounce right now, please can you roll this out soon even if it is only at a domain control level that would be a start. I want to start developing more pages and themes but without this that is a daunting prospect, for example upgrading to GAU soon and that woudl take far longer than needed :).

We have 300+ existing pages with scripts that we’re looking to push to the Scripts Manager. (ie: gtm codes, analytics codes, crazyegg, etc.

Do we need to remove the existing scripts from each page, or will the Scripts Manager override the page settings (or vice versa)?

Thanks!
Jay

We just got into the beta(?) - I’ve been looking forward to this feature for 9+ months!
I’ll have feedback soon.

Thanks for the hard work!

edit:

If we have tags on a page that are similar to those on the GSM - does it fire both scripts, or does one override over the other?

ie: we have form alignment js, and specific form use cases are aligned differently - if we modify the GSM code and place it on the page, will that override the GSM code?

Hey Matt and others in this thread Ñ We are getting very close to having this feature available for all of you. The plan is to launch this as a Labs feature (available under the “Settings” menu in the left-hand menu when you’re logged in) within the next 2 weeks. This will make it easy for you to toggle it on in any account that you want. Following that, we’ll be making a few usability improvements, specifically around making it dead simple to add Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager. When that’s done, we’ll take it out of “labs” and make it available for everyone.

We’ll update this thread when it’s in labs, but like I said, shouldn’t be more than a couple of weeks now. Thanks for being so patient!

i am so ready to be on this beta. What’s the timeline?

Not sure what you mean here. Ultimately, and not related to script manager, I’d like to see three areas. 1. Campaigns. 2. Creative and 3. Traffic sources. So within a campaign you have a set of creative (pages) and traffic sources (urls) and you assign creative to traffic sources. Then, if you want to push a test, you select another creative and set the wights.

Hey Graham! It probably won’t be for a few weeks.That being said, check your email! Dependant on your use case and need I may be able to fast track you into our Private Alpha.

Hi Lou

Many thanks for that.

When you say very shortly, do you mean days or weeks? It’s just I have a bunch of pages that I need to add js code to and I’ll hold off if it’s imminent.

Also how will we get notified when the beta launches?

Thanks

Graham

Gotchya, that makes sense. Would you like the ability to create nested folders for pages instead of the groups that we offer right now?

Guy_Colangelo1

I could give you a whole bunch of reasons, but one obvious one is remarketing scripts. I have my groups by campaigns and different campaigns would have a different remarketing message. At the page level, I would setup conversion tracking (I use post the redirect to another unbounce page for the confirmation and pixel to fire).

So when we start creating and testing other offers and have multiple confirmation pages, it would be nice to only apply conversion tracking to said pages. This is also handy especially since we are an agency so when I copy clients pages, I could simply go into the script manager and update the correct codes once instead of page by page.

Hey Guy Ñ we’re planning on starting with just domains and then taking feedback about how much it would impact customers to have scripts assigned at a more granular level. How would you use scripts at a page groups level?

Guy_Colangelo1

Thanks. I was able to get access from the live chat. Do you plan to expand on it such as ability to assign scripts at page/group level and ability to,choose from library when creating a new page?

Lou_Sturm

Hi Chris, Matt, Guy and Graham!

Sorry for the delay here! All your accounts have been tagged with this request. You’ll be included in the Beta group which we’re getting to launch very shortly!

Hi

Yes, I’d like this too please.

Thanks

Graham

Guy_Colangelo

How can I get this too?

matt_mclelland

I love this! Can i get invited to have this feature?

C

Hey there Ñ we’re currently in an Alpha stage with a handful of customers using the feature and providing feedback. We’re hoping to open that up to a larger audience as soon as we can.

This project is still in progress? Six months is too long to wait, even for those who have a large turnover of Landing Pages.

I’m chomping at the bit for this. We’ve just started using Unbounce & my designers hate having to deal with JS (makes them nervous). If the guys can just design, and I can add any tracking/complexities in one fell swoop, that’d be just grand. Our reason for using Unbounce is to keep me, as the developer, from having to build ALL THE THINGS like I did previously.

Keep up the good direction!

J

We’re just as excited as you, Rene! 😃
