How to push data to Segment.io from GTM - google-analytics

I read that it is possible to send GTM data to Segment. But did not find any resource to do that.
If someone has worked on this can point me to the same?
Thanks in advance,
Amit

Hi you can use Segment template in community gallery.
https://tagmanager.google.com/gallery/#/owners/slide-rule-tech/templates/gtm-segment-template
It offers track, identify, page calls to your segment.

I think you want to know how to implement Segment code through Google Tag Manager?
It's simply install the Segment JS library within it:
Segment JS Library Document
How easy is that will depend on how you familiar with Google Tag Manger
I assume you already have the source call JavaScript in Segment
Then the first step is create a Tag in GoogleTagManager
Here is the screenshot
Then you will have to install the code for identify(), track() according to the tracking plan for the website.

Using GTM to add Open Graph

Do you know, how to add open graph parameters to specific URLs on my site using Google Tag Manager? I couldn't find anywhere answer on that.
Thanks a lot!
No unfortunately not. Unlike Google where it's become a lot better in the last 3 years at using rendered JavaScript content to pick up code generated by tag managers - Facebook sadly hasn't advanced this far + will only pick up content in the actual HTML.
See this blog post (in Dutch) for guidance: http://vlcm.be/2017/07/open-graph-metatags-google-tag-manager/
So unfortunately when it comes to OGP and Twitter Cards you'll have to add them the old fashioned way.

YouTube video tracking using dtm

I am trying to implement youtube video tracking using DTM. I read few posts around capturing different events but couldnt got it working.
I do have media module as part of appmeasurement library in DTM.
Does it need to be a custom script or we can capture values in dataelements?
Any pointers would be helpful
I could get it working with Adobe's Media module and youtube event 'onStateChange' tracking
thanks
Check this link out. There is some information you might find useful.

Set a tag to track links from a visual basic app in google analytics

I hope I can explain myself.
See. I have this little program where I put a link to my site, what I want to know if there's some way to add a tag into the URL so Google Analytics can count the amount of visitors coming from that program.
Like when you parse the GET in php.
something like http:\\www.stackoverflow.com\?something_to_google_analytics_to_read
If this is possible, I assume that I need also to configure that Tag into Analytic's, or?
Thanks
As #SLaks pointed, I can find a step by step guide for create what I wanted in:

It is called Campaigns.
Thanks

RSS usage tracking

Is there a way to track if anyone is using your RSS feeds?
Thanks.
Feedburner (feedburner.google.com) can give you all sorts of stats. I know there are others providing similar services, but that's the one I've used in the past.
Feedburner does exactly that: http://feedburner.google.com
You can include a small single-pixel invisible image in the HTML inside the description tags. This image can be loaded dynamically from a server-side script. When the script executes, you will know some user is reading your RSS feed content and the image has loaded because of that. This way you get to monitor the stats rather than rely one some other service.

Generate a Google Calendar compatible feed

I'm trying to build a Google Calendar compatible feed (atom), that users can subscribe to and use to receive updates, but everything I've read so far involves communicating with Google using the GData APIs. I just want to provide a feed url that can be added to Google Calendar if the user chooses to do so.
When I tried adding the <gd:where> and <gd:who> elements to a 'normal' atom feed, it broke in my feed reader.
Am I going about this the wrong way? Is there some other way to do this?
I may be being dense, but if you are trying to provide users with calendar info, would it not be a better idea to use the ICS format?
not really an answer but the Rome API may be useful

If you use Firefox and view the source of a Google Calendar feed and then as it to a server it will not work. Why not?
Try it your self.
