# Commander Act setup

> How to set up Tag Insight with Commander Act TagCommander

## Overview

Commander Act TagCommander is a popular European tag management system. If your website uses Commander Act, setting up Tag Insight is simple - your technical team just needs to add one tag.

## What you'll need

Before starting, make sure you have:

* ✅ Someone with access to your Commander Act account
* ✅ Your Tag Insight Project ID (found in your dashboard)
* ✅ About 15 minutes for setup

<Note>
  Commander Act is especially popular in France and Europe. If you're not sure if you use it, ask your web developer or digital team.
