Web hooks for Google Tag Manager

Hello again -

Quick question for you guys. I'm currently adding Google Tag Manager code to my site, and I need to add two snippets of code - one in the <head> of every page, and one immediately after the opening <body> tag.

I'm pretty sure I can use webhooks to add the code into the <head> of every page by using wp_head on every page with a position of 2 (so it's below my GA tag). However, I'm not quite sure how to use a webhook to add the second bit of code right after the opening <body> tag. Is it possible to do this with a webhook?

Also, I'm assuming I need to put the Google Tag Manager code in the <head> below my GA tag for Google Analytics?

Thanks as always! I've included the two snippets of code below for reference.

Paste this code as high in the <head> of the page as possible on every page:

<!-- Google Tag Manager -->
<script>(function(w,d,s,l,i){w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l].push({'gtm.start':
new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js'});var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],
j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'&l='+l:'';j.async=true;j.src=
'https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id='+i+dl;f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f);
})(window,document,'script','dataLayer','GTM-NJHHGGJ');</script>
<!-- End Google Tag Manager -->

Additionally, paste this code immediately after the opening <body> tag:

<!-- Google Tag Manager (noscript) -->
<noscript><iframe src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/ns.html?id=GTM-NJHHGGJ"
height="0" width="0" style="display:none;visibility:hidden"></iframe></noscript>
<!-- End Google Tag Manager (noscript) -->

Hi there,

the before_header hook with the priority set to zero will place the second tag after the opening body tag.
