the main problem with the rules provided as screenshots are: you mixed up „query string parameter“ and „value of the parameter“

let me explain: given the url

mysite.com/landingpage.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=ppc&utm_campaign=motor_2018

your parameters is eg. „utm_source“ and the value is „google“ (i marked the parameters)

in your rules, you need to check for the „parameters“ (not the values). looking at the pcc-rule you need to change the following:

conditions: change it to „query string parameter (utm_medium) equals (ppc)“ (change from „exists“ to „contains“
set channel value: change to „query string parameter (utm_medium)“

the same needs to be done with the other rules in a similar way...

i hope that helps

Sure ursulab50161321. Will implement using d_ parameter. Thanks for your inputs :-)

you can use whatever parameter you like! it's just a matter of your implementation.

but: I recommend either stick to the utm-parameters (because a lot of people know them and a lot of 3rd party publishers work with them) or ho with the Adobe "cid" parameter. It's completely up to you what you decide to implement.

Hi ursulab50161321

Instead of using utm_source, utm_medium and utm_campiagn, is it possible to use d_ Adobe analytics parameter ?

If yes, what is the procedure ?

I believe the URLs will be tagged something like this :

https://www.site.com/?d_source=linkedin&d_medium=internal_jobs&d_campaign=jobs

https://www.site.com/?d_source=twitter&d_medium=tweet&d_campaign=movies

https://www.site.com/?d_source=google&d_medium=ppc&d_campaign=christmas2019

I wanted to provide some additional clarification about the time it takes for your Marketing Channel Rules to take effect. There are some important caveats you will want to understand around latency and visitor engagement expiration.

The changes are effective as of the time you save them in Adobe Analytics and will fire for all calls coming into the report suite after that time. The one major drawback is that Marketing Channel Rules are not retroactive like Classification Rules, so any data before the date you activate your new Marketing Channel Rules will not be aligned to your channels. Make sense?
