Hi,
a few weeks ago Twitter created a new tag which is able to track pageviews in addition to only conversions (as the existing Twitter tag does).
The code looks as following:
<!-- Twitter universal website tag code --> <script> !function(e,n,u,a){e.twq||(a=e.twq=function(){a.exe?a.exe.apply(a,arguments): a.queue.push(arguments);},a.version='1',a.queue=[],t=n.createElement(u), t.async=!0,t.src='//static.ads-twitter.com/uwt.js',s=n.getElementsByTagName(u)[0], s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s))}(window,document,'script'); // Insert Twitter Pixel ID and Standard Event data below twq('init','12345'); twq('track','PageView'); </script> <!-- End Twitter universal website tag code -->
Do you plan to include this new tag in the tag marketplace in the near future or do I have to use the Tealium Custom Container to implement this?
Greetings,
Andreas

Excellent question @ahrasch. Let me see what I can find out. Stay tuned...

Hello again @ahrasch. We are aware of the update to the Twitter tag and are working diligently towards a resolution. In the interrim I would suggest that you do use the Tealium Custom Container as we do not have a completion date established for this update.
Would you like me to ask your Account Manager for assistance as well? Please let me know. I look forward to your reply.

Hello @kathleen_jo,
I think I managed to implement this with the Custom Container on my own. However, after doing this I realized that although the calling code and the adress of the script to load of the new Twitter tag looks different, the content of the script and the url of the actual Twitter pixel is the same.
This may change in the future, but for the moment it seems that just using the Twitter Conversion tag from the marketplace and loading it on every page is doing the same pixel call than the new tag.

Thank you for letting us know about this behavior @ahrasch. Great information. I will let the appropriate teams know.

Are there any updates to the template for the new Twitter Universal tag?

It is still not available; however, engineering is working hard on getting this out as soon as possible and it should be available in the very near future.

The new Twitter Universal Tag is using a new library (https://static.ads-twitter.com/uwt.js).
I believe you will need to get a new code snippet to replaced the old one that still uses (analytics.twitter.com).
