Microsoft Advertising is a pay-per-click ad platform for Bing, Yahoo, and DuckDuckGo. This article explains how to send Fundraise Up donation conversions to Microsoft Advertising using Google Tag Manager (GTM) and Fundraise Up dataLayer events.
Fundraise Up sends events to the website dataLayer. GTM listens for those events and sends conversion data to Microsoft Advertising. If you are new to Fundraise Up dataLayer events, start here: Learn more →
