# Google Tag Manager Server Side - Redirect Tracker
This GTM SS Client lets you track URLs via redirects.
## Configuration
You have these fields to configure:
* Path - the path pointing at your GTM Server Side domain e.g. if your GTM SS is at `https://gtm.example.com/` then use `/path1` so `https://gtm.example.com/path1` will be a redirect tracker
* Destination - where the redirect will end up. You can use any URL you like, including adding tracking parameters
* HTTP Redirect Status - choose between 301 or 302 redirects
* Referrer - you can overwrite the referrer of the redirect
## GTM Event
The redirect tracker also creates a GTM event with these attributes that you can use to trigger server-side tags:
```js
const event = {
event_name: 'redirect',
redirect_source: row.path,
redirect_destination: row.redirect,
redirect_type: row.status,
redirect_referer: row.referer,
ts: getTimestampMillis()
};
```
## Example
In the above screenshot calls to `https://gtm2.markedmondson.me` + ... =
* `/edmon` redirects to the website with UTM paramters attached
* `/edmon2` and `/edmon3` redirects without UTM parameters
* `/redirect-gtm` redirects to this GitHub container
This client has also been attached to the [Edmonlytica Server Side Tag](https://github.com/MarkEdmondson1234/edmonlytica-server-side-tag) that reads the GTM event and sends it to BigQuery:
