Campaign tracking with mutiple ? in url

Thanks for the insight. I will work with the dev team to understand if we can pick up the cid instead of UTM to then populate the s.campaign variable.

ok I think I know issue.

The challenge is your scode(main code) is setup to pick from UTM codes to then parse out and create the s.camapign variable.

try this fake URL

https://www.nycgo.com/things-to-do/events-in-nyc/dont-miss-this-month/december?utm_term=decemberevents&utm _content=calendar&cid=nycos_events_fb_f18_us_en_decevents_eventpage_20181116

You will see how it starts to populate it.

If its not in scode directly then you will need to look in processing rules under Admin.

can you paste actual URL or priv message me URL...

Hi Pablo,

I really appreciate you taking your time to help with this issue. Unfortunately, your recommendation does not work. It is still capturing the UTM codes. Please see screen shot. I'm talking to a former colleague of mine and she said there might be something in DTM to prioritize the cid to be captured instead of the UTM code. Does that sounds like a possible solution?

The reason why we are using UTM codes is because we are working with a vendor where they data is dependent on it. Unfortunately, we are not able to modify their tracking.

ok then this is just a placement issue of where the ID is within the URL

try this...

Delete the middle cid...

Then apply at the end of URL

&cid=tryme

campaign should then say "tryme" in debugger...

when using URLs with queries and blog like structure often adjust cid location to end like this will help important to use "&".

SAINT is great as you can upload the associated data at any time(even prior to live launch). SInce you just need 1 CID you can make it like "tryme:  as an example and upload:

meduim type, medium location, campaign name, sales rep, ad size, customer name etc...

all as asocaited and easily reportable yet URL is just the CID#. CLeaner and way more flexible than goole utm codes...

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Aren't SAINT classification applied once the data is captured correctly? My issue is that Adobe analytics is not recognizing the "cid" code, but the UTM codes, which is not what I'm looking for. Perhaps the screen shot below may help. I am just looking to capture the cid information in Adobe analytics.

Check out SAINT classifications you can get tremendous RICH secondary data associated to campaign IDs.

The beauty is you don't need all the giant long Google like URLs to do it. Its more efficient as well as allows for literally dozens of secondary groupings if you want it.

Also allows you to be retro active..

Hello,

With the URL below, will I be able to see the Adobe tracking and the Google tracking codes in their respective analytics interfaces?

https://www.nycgo.com/things-to-do/events-in-nyc/dont-miss-this-month/december?cid=nycos_events_fb_f18_us_en_decevents_eventpage_20181116&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=nycgosocial&utm_campaign=events&utm_term=decemberevents&utm_content=calendar

The codes are separated with an "&" so based on the above, it sounds like it should work. I am having difficulties validating this in a dev environment.

Hi,

I am using getQueryParam plugin 2.3 to set s.campaign but it doesn't accept multiple values

s.campaign=s.getQueryParam('utm_source,utm_medium,utm_term,utm_campaign',':');

returns an error

s.campaign=s.getQueryParam('utm_source');

returns the source value in s.campaign

is there a solution for this?
