Most accounts only need one Invoca Tag. This FAQ covers common scenarios that seem to call for a new Tag, along with an alternative to try first.Your Invoca account comes with one Invoca Tag already created and ready to deploy. While you can create as many Tags as you want, most organizations only need one. A single Tag can be deployed on as many landing pages as needed, even across several domains — Invoca silos the data collected per domain, so tracking stays easy. Using fewer Tags makes it easier to deploy Invoca consistently, keep your Invoca reports consistent, and troubleshoot errors. Below are four common scenarios that sometimes lead to creating an additional Tag unnecessarily, along with an alternative to try first. If none of these alternatives fit your business needs, creating a new Tag is still an option.
Scenario 1: I want to change my Tag settings
You don’t need a new Tag just to update which numbers your Tag swaps, the Marketing Data it collects, or its custom code. Alternative: Create a new revision of your existing Tag instead. This avoids redeploying to every landing page, and the Tag Wizard keeps a full history of every revision, so you can revert if needed.Scenario 2: I want to test new revisions before pushing them live
Alternative: Deploy the same Tag to your staging site as your production site. Make your changes, save the revision, but don’t set it live yet — instead, click Test in the Tag Wizard. In the Test your Revision window, enter your staging site’s URL. The “Link to test this revision” line shows that URL with?invoca_rev=draft appended — this forces the page to use your most recent draft. Click Test in new tab to preview it.
To view the live revision instead, replace that slug with ?invoca_rev=live, so you can toggle back and forth. Once everything looks right, set the draft live, or make further changes and retest.
