Step 1:
Use Google Tag Manager to create a tag that adds this custom HTML on all pages on the website:
<script>
var receiveMessage = function(event){
var data = event.data;
var eventName = data.substring(0,data.indexOf('.'));
var booking = data.substring(data.indexOf('.')+1);
if(eventName === 'appointeddBookingConfirmed'){
try{
var bookingObject = JSON.parse(booking);
var email = bookingObject.customer.profile.email;
window.dataLayer.push(JSON.parse(booking));
dataLayer.push({'event': eventName});
}
catch(err){
console.warn('Failed getting JSON from event ' + eventName, err);
console.warn(booking);
}
}
};
window.addEventListener("message", receiveMessage, false);
</script>
