Learn how integrations work in Vev, the hierarchy they follow, and how to configure them at the hosting, folder, or project level.

Integrating third-party tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and many more involves sharing data with external service providers.

Important note: Ensure you have a connected custom domain β€” integrations cannot be used without one.

How Integrations Work in Vev

Vev applies integrations using a top-down hierarchy. This means:

Example of the Hierarchy

If you add a Google Analytics tracking code at the hosting level:

  • Every folder and project under that hosting will automatically use the same tracking code.

  • If you want a different tracking ID for a specific folder or project, you can override the hosting level settings locally. This customization will not override or remove your hosting-level setup β€” it will simply apply to the selected folder or project.

Managing Hosting-Level Integrations

Hosting-level integrations affect your entire domain and are the most efficient way to apply global tools.

Steps to Configure a Hosting-Level Integration

  1. Access the Hosting Settings

    • Go to your Vev dashboard.

    • Click your avatar in the top-left panel and click "Account settings" for the respective account.

    • Select Hosting, then choose the hosting instance you want to configure.

    • In the left panel, click Integrations.

    • On the left side, select Browse all to view available integrations.

  2. Install the Integration

    • Find the integration you want (e.g., Google Analytics).

    • Click on it and select Install.

  3. Configure the Settings

    • Enter your required credentials or tracking information.

    • Save your configuration.

    • Publish your project.

Best Practices for Integrations in Vev

  • Use hosting-level integrations whenever possible for simplicity and consistency.

  • Apply folder-level or project-level overrides only when you need unique tracking or behavior.

  • Review third-party privacy policies to stay compliant with regulations.
