ListenLayer pushes critical information from your URL Parameter activity into the data layer automatically. For example, this code to the right shows an example of data pushed into the data layer every time a user visits a page containing a URL parameter. The data layer automatically captures all relevant values, allowing you to utilize the data directly in your web analytics or write rules to customize your data layer further.
All data layer values can be captured inside marketing platforms or as variables using Google Tag Manager.
