## What you'll need

Before starting, make sure you have:

* Your Tag Insight Project ID (found in your dashboard under **Project Settings**)
* Access to your tag management system (Google Tag Manager, Commander Act, etc.)
* Someone from your technical team to help with the installation

<Note>
  Not sure about your tag management system? Ask your web developer or IT team - they'll know!
</Note>
