How to Enable Wunderkind Pop-Ups to Trigger dl_subscribe Events for Elevar
Overview
Wunderkind pop-ups do not have a public integration with Elevar. However, you can create an unofficial integration by working with Wunderkind to fire a custom data layer event when a pop-up sign-up is completed. Once this event is active, you can capture it and convert it into a dl_subscribe event for Elevar tracking.
How to Enable Wunderkind Pop-Ups to Trigger dl_subscribe Events for Elevar
Request Wunderkind to Fire the wknd_subscribe Event
- Ask your customer to contact Wunderkind and request them to enable a wknd_subscribe event upon successful pop-up sign-up. The event should be configured like this:
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer ?? [];
window.dataLayer.push({
event: "wknd_subscribe",
lead_type: "email",
user_properties: {
customer_email: btoa('users email address')
}
})
Download the Pre-Built GTM Container:
- After the wknd_subscribe event is live, you will need to import a pre-built GTM container that listens for this event and pushes the corresponding dl_subscribe event.
- Download: dl_subscribe for Wunderkind Pop-ups.json
Import the Pre-Built Container:
- Log in to your Google Tag Manager Account.
- Select your GTM Web Container.
- Click on the "Admin" button located in the upper menu bar.
- Use the right-hand menu under the "Container" section and click on the tab labeled "Import Container".
- (See Figure 1)
- Use the right-hand menu under the "Container" section and click on the tab labeled "Import Container".

Test and Validate the Setup:
- Once you have downloaded and imported the Wunderkind container for pop-ups, open the site where Wunderkind pop-ups are active. Then, complete a pop-up sign-up.
- In GTM Preview mode or the browser's DevTools Console, and confirm that the wknd_subscribe event appears in the data layer and a dl_subscribe event is triggered as expected.
- Verify that the customer_email value in the payload is being recorded and matches the email address you used during testing.
- (See Figure 4)
- Additionally, confirm that Elevar is receiving the dl_subscribe events correctly.
