Hello, whenever I update WHMCS, all template files are overwritten, causing me to lose my Analytics code each time, and I have to re-add it. I would like to add it using a hook, but I don't know how to write the hook. Could someone please help me? Thanks!

Sample tracking code:  

<script defer src="https://analytics.mysite.xyz/script.js" data-website-id="8777878sad7878fsd5f4sd5f4"></script>

EDIT: i am not using google analytics, i am using umami analytics..

You don't edit the templates that came with it, you create your changes in a template set *based* on that, giving it a new folder.  Updates won't rewrite those, and then you just need to be sure nothing in the new ones needs bringing into the one you made.

Sorry, but I didn't  get you. 😕  Let me explain how I did it

I edited the Templates > Theme > header.tpl file and added the tracking code under <head>. However, when I update WHMCS  it always gets removed

In the templates folder, create a new folder "MyTheme" (name is up to you). Copy the theme files in the WHMCS theme you're using into that folder (it only requires the ones you're changing, but all is ok too). So now you have:
Templates > MyTheme > header.tpl and that's where you make changes.
Once you're done, tell WHMCS what theme you want to use (in this case, MyTheme). It will look there first for your files.
