# Listen to Datalayer Events

With the generic DataLayer (`window.dataLayer`) that is used on many sites there is an easy connection to JENTIS. Within this guide, we will look into how to create that link.

We must create a JENTIS state to get the JENTIS DCP to receive events from your website's DataLayer. Based on events pushed to the DataLayer, we will also create Google Analytics events.

The steps are:

* Connect JTM to the website's DataLayer
* Create variables that are connected to the DataLayer
* Create tags and triggers based on previous steps

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.jentis.com/use-cases-and-tutorials/events-and-custom-states/listen-to-datalayer-events.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
