Tag Configuration

First, go to Tealium's Tag Marketplace and add the BloomReach tag to your profile (how to add a tag?).

After adding the tag, configure the below settings:

Account ID: Your BloomReach account ID.
View ID: This BloomReach-provided ID is only required if you have multiple sites with unique product catalog characteristics using the same account ID.
Domain Key: This BloomReach-provided ID is only required for a site with multiple language versions.
Track TMS: Toggle tracking of Tealium as your Tag Management System (TMS). Only toggle to 'Yes' when migrating your BloomReach implementation from another platform to Tealium, and you're still loading BloomReach on both platforms. The default is 'No'. This allows BloomReach to distinguish the tracking calls from each platform.
Clear br_data on Page View: Toggle whether to clear out the br_data object with each page view, or to allow persisted values to remain. This is often set to 'Yes' for Single-page or AJAX applications. The default is 'No'.

Load Rules

Load Rules determine when and where to load an instance of this tag on your site.

Data Mappings

Mapping is the process of sending data from a data layer variable to the corresponding destination variable of the vendor tag. For instructions on how to map a variable to a tag destination, see data mappings.

The destination variables for the BloomReach tag are built into its Data Mapping tab. Available categories are:

Standard/Global

Destination Name	Description
Account ID	Overrides your configured Account ID.
View ID	Overrides your configured View ID.
Domain Key	Overrides your configured Domain Key

ptype

Required for all page views. BloomReach has 7 page type classifications: homepage, product, category, search, content, thematic, and other. Set the ptype dynamically by entering the mapped variable's value and selecting the appropriate ptype from the dropdown.

If your page type doesn't correspond to one of the supported BloomReach page types, then use 'other'. Only set a custom ptype after consulting with your BloomReach representative.

Category Page

Destination Name	Description
Category ID	The unique category ID as referred to in your BloomReach database/catalog. The category ID needs to match the 'crumb_id' in the feed. This is often a numeric ID or unique crumb path. If you are passing a crumb path, do not delimit the individual crumb values.

The event triggers when the supplied value is found in the data layer.
